Travel VP: Joe Sarnecki
The Clark Soccer Club’s travel program is focused on providing an opportunity for the youth to participate in a healthy, competitive soccer environment. Through this environment, the Club strives for players to develop their personal potential as well as their soccer potential and for each participant to:
- Learn the value of teamwork and self-discipline
- Develop proper attitudes towards competition and sportsmanship
- Gain self confidence through improvements gained from hard work
- Experience personal and team success and let down
- Enjoy the game of soccer at a higher level of competition
U7 & U8 Futures
Clark SC introduces players to travel through the Futures Program at U7 (Spring Only) and U8 (Full Year). Futures provide players with a more focused training environment and is designed for those that have shown a passion/ interest for the game. Players will attend 2 training sessions each week for a total of 8-10 weeks and participate in 5 - 7 festivals (5v5) with the NJ Nationals Partnered Clubs. An option for league play may be available for the Spring season. The goal is to prepare players for the next level of soccer.
U9 - U17 Travel
At U9 and older, players continue in our travel program. Travel teams up until U13 are formed through a club wide try-out process held each spring. To try out for a team U13 or older, please contact the coach directly to arrange an opportunity to try out. Teams are coached and managed by volunteers but also employ professional trainers to assist in training sessions.
Participation in the travel program is a large commitment on the part of the player and parents. The program is a full year program with the exception of the summer months. Players must commit to both the spring and fall season to be placed on a team. Teams typically practice two nights a week for 90 minutes and play one game on the weekend. Often there is indoor winter training held between the fall and spring season.
NJ Nationals FC
Our top players will have the opportunity to be nominated by our club and compete at the highest youth levels with other players from the NJ Nationals Partnered clubs.
