THE ACADEMY (YOUTH TEAMS)
North Jersey FC is excited to be joining the MID-ATLANTIC PREMIER LEAGUE for the 2025/2026 season and beyond. A member of the NATIONAL PREMIER LEAGUES, this new opportunity will provide greater exposure, better competition, and fantastic experiences for the families of NJFC. The NPL is a US CLUB SOCCER league, which allows NJFC to now compete in new competitions.
North Jersey FC will be committing all of its top teams to the NPL moving forward, with the 2007-2010 age groups being the first age groups to compete.
North Jersey FC is proud member of US Youth Soccer and NJ Youth Soccer, as a member of EDP for league play at the club level - where teams can be found across all levels in the league system. EDP provides competitive opposition in local games, allowing for less travel and more time for more games. NJFC does not believe it is normal for youth players to travel 2-3 hours consistently for league play, when that time can be used for more soccer, more development, more fun.
As a NJ Youth Soccer member, NJFC teams also compete in the NJYS State Cups.
Tournaments and Showcase events are a regular occurence for NJFC teams, as the club focuses on competitive regional events that can proivde good competition and memorable experiences, while keeping travel reasonable. Typical NJFC tournaments are based in New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and other northeastern states.
NJFC was also invited into the UPSL Academy's 2023 Fall Competition where a seasonal tournament style tournament was run.
NJFC 2006 Boys played two group games, where it downed Black River Sportfriends 0g Premier with a score of 4-0 away in Wayne, NJ.
In the second match, the team headed down to play a sunday night match away in Mahwah, NJ to LDUQ after a tournament win over the course of the weekend. A fatigued side managed to pull a 4-4 draw on the night, managing to stay undefeated in the short foray into the UPSL Academy ranks.
