About Us

South Jersey Elite SC is a division of the Don D’Ambra Soccer Academy, which is based out of Total Turf Experience.  Total Turf Experience is a multi-sports complex located in Mantua, NJ that will be home to several sports clubs.  On site, there will be state-of-the-art indoor and outdoor playing fields for year-round programs.

 Our staff understands the importance of providing a solid foundation for the young players.  The future development and success of a young player depends on receiving correct and relevant information at an early age.  We have designed a curriculum that emphasizes age-specific technical skills combined with teaching them how to make tactical decisions on the field.   

 The Don D’Ambra Soccer Academy will consist of three divisions:  The Developmental Academy, South Jersey Elite SC and Outreach Programs.

 The Developmental Academy will consist of several soccer programs including:  Open Youth Travel Leagues, Open Men’s and Women’s Leagues, Open Youth Recreational Leagues, Open Instructional Leagues, Private Recreational Leagues, Private Clinic Program, Academy Program, Tot Program, College Summer Workout Program and High School Summer Workout Program

 South Jersey Elite SC is a premier travel soccer club catering to the U8-U19 age groups.  SJ Elite is committed to providing a comprehensive and progressive developmental training program for the serious soccer athlete.  Our goal is to create a professional training environment that will allow for all players and teams to reach their highest potential.  It is essential that all our members have respect for the game, their teammates, coaches and opponents.  We are committed to providing highly qualified and motivated staff members that will work diligently at teaching the game at all levels.

 U8-U10 teams - will be focusing strictly on technique and fundamentals.  At this age, it is imperative that all the players become extremely comfortable with the ball at their feet and develop a foundation of tactical awareness.

 U11-U13 teams - will make the transition from developmental level to the academy level.  The level of commitment and expectations will increase because this age group will begin to start competing against top teams in the region through games and tournaments.  The training sessions will consist of technical and tactical sessions which will enhance their knowledge of the game. 

 U14-U19 teams - will focus on high level training and competition, preparing them for high school and college recruitment.  This is a very important time for players to be a part of a premier team that will be able to qualify and compete in reputable college showcase tournaments.  We are making a strong commitment to place student-athletes in top college programs and beyond.  This is the time when players start to take the game more seriously and need to be in the best training environment possible.  

 The Outreach programs will consist of:  Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Tops Soccer Program, Faith Cycle Ministries and Soccer in the Streets.
