The Magic team will get together for the Spring season, as a supplement to existing travel commitments. Please note that this is not intended to replace existing year round teams.
The Magic will have two training sessions per week (Monday / Friday) of which players must attend one. In addition, the team will play 6-8 games in MAPS league, and one tournament. Games will be scheduled early or late on Saturday and Sunday, to avoid conflicts with existing club programs.
While not part of the STA program, STA youth teams often choose to stay together and participate in a summer program, participating in a Pre-Y tournament program, taking in the best of youth soccer across New Jersey and beyond throughout June and July. While popular, this is an option, and not part of the STA program.
