STA
STA is the preeminent soccer program in Northern New Jersey providing an opportunity for the most talented and committed players from throughout the state to play at the highest level.  STA teams compete across local, regional and national levels providing an appropriate home and competitive platform for players of every level of ability.  On the national stage, STA are proud members of the Girls Academy League and Boys ECNL leagues. These are the levels within which STA's most talented players and teams compete with other top clubs from across the country.  Attending multiple National Showcase events each year and competing to qualify for postseason play in front of Youth National Team staff and scouts, these leagues provide an incredible developmental experience for our young players and are the perfect platforms to support them in pursuit of their collegiate and/or professional dreams.  STA are part of both the USYS/EDP National League platform and the Boys ECNL Regional League. These leagues give STA's 2nd tier teams the opportunity to compete against like minded, like able teams and clubs from across the Northeast. Blending club v. club competition (boys) with team based schedules (girls), these leagues provide a great opportunity for some fantastic regionalized competition without the requirement of a more nationalized travel schedule.
