The J's Striker soccer program focuses on working to improve both technical (individual) and tactical (team) soccer skills, and knowledge of the game.  Strikers soccer is not defined as recreational or premier, but rather a combination of the two, so players hoping to eventually go competitive, or those playing just for fun both have the tools they need to succeed. 

We form teams that are coached by our staff and are entered into local leagues (No tryout necessary). All practice sessions are located The J. Games will take place on weekends at community soccer fields. Staff coaches, league fee, jersey and an award included. Players from previous seasons will use their same jerseys unless the jersey is too small. Teammate requests are accepted!
