Register now for 2020 Fall PAL soccer

The safety of our players, coaches and spectators will be our top priority for the 2020 season and we'll use recommendations from the CDC, NJ Interscholastic Athletic Association and NJ Youth Soccer to determine whether and how we can safely play this year.

New June 19 update: NJIAA issues Phase 1 guidelines.

Register now, pay later:  Due to the uncertainty with the 2020 season, we are opening registration but deferring any payment until there is clear guidance on safe return to play.  Registering now helps us plan for the upcoming season and order the correct amount of equipment.

Our primary goal is for players to have fun, to learn soccer skills, to be good teammates and to love playing soccer. 

All players will receive a dri-fit t-shirt, soccer ball and drawstring backpack.

Our success depends on parent volunteers to coach. Please consider volunteering, it's a very rewarding experience!!
