Tournament Return
Bethlehem Soccer Club is pleased to announce the return of its annual soccer tournament in May of 2026, made possible through the partnership of Efros Orthodontics.
The Bethlehem Efros Ortho Classic will take place May 16 and 17 at the Bethlehem SoccerPlex, 450 Wemple Road in Glenmont, NY. This year’s tournament will feature divisions for girls and boys at the U10 and U12 levels, with plans to expand to include additional age groups in 2027.
Bethlehem Soccer Club President Justin Haviland noted that hosting a tournament was an annual tradition before the pandemic and logistical challenges led the club to pause the practice in 2020. “The tournament is something the board of directors felt strongly about working to reinstate,” said Haviland. “We are extremely grateful to our friends at Efros Orthodontics for sponsoring the event and look forward to growing this partnership – and the tournament – in the years to come.”
“As someone who grew up right here in Slingerlands, and now raising my own family here with our three kids, it’s incredibly special to be part of something like the Bethlehem Efros Ortho Classic,” said Dr. Greg Efros. “This community has given so much to us, and it’s an honor to give back in a way that brings families together and supports local athletes. At Efros Orthodontics, our mission is ‘Every patient. Every time.’ and that same level of commitment is something we’re proud to extend beyond our office and into the community through events like this.”
In addition to a series of soccer games played in a round robin format, the weekend will feature entertainment, contests and raffles, and food offerings that currently include Times Square catering and Kona Ice.
