“Soccer taught me so much growing up - the joy of learning how to win, how to lose, and how to work together as a team. I'm so happy to have the opportunity to share that with our community and to be a part of something good for our kids that will stay with them forever. .”

"SPF Soccer was my children's first introduction to team sports. Our strong and growing program which is focused on development of every child is one of the best things about living in the Scotch Plains/Fanwood area."
Danny Gwertzman, VP Travel
”The highest-quality soccer clubs are those that are able to best develop their players and maximize their potential, while maintaining an environment in which kids could still be kids and bask in their joy and passion for the game. My goal is to ensure that we do not lose sight of these fundamental tenets as we continue to build on a top-notch travel program.”

"Since they were very young my kids have been involved in the SPF soccer program. I really enjoyed the communal aspect of seeing all of our youngest players come out on Saturday morning. It feels like the entire town is there. As my kids have gotten older I appreciate soccers ability to teach teamwork, humility and competition. I also like that it provides a social outlet for kids to meet, play and compete against other kids."
