Did you know Berkeley High is considered one of the top soccer programs in the state of California? The BHS Varsity team has won 6 of the last 9 Western Alameda County Conference League Championships and appeared in 4 of the last 7 North Coast Section championship matches, winning it all in 2017 and 2019 and again in 2024! Our JV and Freshman squads are perennial Berkeley all-star teams, the Freshmen went 18-0-0 last year. More importantly, we maintain one of the highest cumulative team GPAs in California sending nearly all of our seniors to top colleges. Academics are the bedrock of the BHS soccer program.

This year 145 talented student athletes tried out for 80 spots on our three teams. Overall, Berkeley High School serves 3,400 students with 1,200 student athletes. We are competing against other Bay Area schools with dramatically better funding. For that reason, every year we raise funds for essential field and training equipment, tournament fees, uniforms, balls, end-of-season celebration, team T-shirts and more. Without this additional source of revenue, we would be at a serious disadvantage.

Our goal is to raise at least $400 per player this year to cover the team’s tournament to Davis for the first time, league fees, tournament fees, uniforms, coaching stipends, transportation, team equipment and much, much more. This year, we’re also looking to add covered benches to our field so players don’t have to stand in the soaking rain on the sidelines—a crucial improvement as we continue to play through all types of weather during our winter season.

Go Jackets!
