Out Reach Programs
South Jersey Elite believes there is more to life than just soccer. We are in the process of forming partnerships with different types of charity and outreach programs with the intention of helping others. We want to be active in our community in assisting underprivileged families and making an impact on other peoples lives. We are encouraging our coaches, players and parents to get involved with our outreach programs because it will build character. We have teamed up with the following organizations in order to changes lives both on and off the field.
Soccer in the Streets is a program that will arrange for SJ Elite Staff Members to set up clinics and leagues for children who can't afford to play organized soccer.
There will be a year-round FCA program for soccer players who want to learn how God can make a different in how they play soccer and teach them to be better teammates and become class competitors. FCM in conjunction with FCA provides the needed materials for a Christian to grow. Online Bible studies, sermons, articles on faith and more. FCM provides a "Christianity 101" section to help new believers.
Also, once the facility is up and running, we would like to partner with programs such as TOPS Soccer and Special Olympics.
South Jersey Elite is looking for volunteers to help with our outreach programs. If you would like to help or have interest please contact us at:
