Winners will represent New Jersey in regional competition against other state champions. The US Youth Soccer Presidents Cup is a National Championship tournament that was designed to create a high-level competition for those looking to play against teams of similar abilities for a regional or national title. “We are proud of these players’ dedication. Their hard work and skilled play propelled their teams to the next level. New Jersey Youth Soccer looks forward to the seeing these champions represent New Jersey at the Region I level,” said Buddy Hart NJYS Games Commissioner.

Winners in six age groups were crowned representing teams and clubs throughout the state. Dan Metzger and Raphael Diaz, current Red Bulls II players and former NJ Youth Soccer Olympic Development Program standouts were on hand to congratulate all of the players and their achievements. “New Jersey provided me the opportunity to enjoy soccer while playing at the highest levels. It was a blast to watch great competition and recognize these young boys and girls,” said Metzger. “I have no doubt there were kids on the fields today that will have many great years playing the game.”
