The Metuchen Town Soccer Club organizes a recreational soccer program that emphasizes equal participation and instruction for all while de-emphasizing winning and losing, league standings and all-star concepts. Our goal is for children to enjoy playing soccer while also learning sportsmanship, cooperation and the skills of the game.
The program is open to kindergarten through eighth graders who live or go to school in Metuchen or whose parents work in Metuchen. The season consists of 10 games which are played on Saturdays beginning in early September and ending in mid-November. Second through eighth graders also have one weeknight practice per week. There are no make-ups for rain-outs.
Our club believes that education and community involvement are extremely important. That is why our Tony Black Memorial Fund (named after the founder of our organization) provides college scholarships to Metuchen High School seniors. The Club also provides new soccer equipment to Metuchen schools and funding for other activities that benefit the children of Metuchen. We receive no funding from the Metuchen Travel Soccer Club, which organizes Traveling Soccer, or from the Borough of Metuchen.
