OUR PRINCIPLES
Discipline
Young athletes need discipline to develop their soccer and life skills. We believe that inculcating discipline is a vital part of developing a well rounded athlete
Respect
Respect is a vital part of life. Soccer players and athletes in general need have self respect, respect of others, and respect of the sport to succeed.
Teamwork
Young athletes need to be able to develop as team members first to become apt soccer players. We believe that team values such as collaboration, support, and leadership are pivotal for a soccer player’s development.
Strength
Athletes need to be physically and mentally strong to excel at any sport, particularly soccer. Soccer demands focus, stamina, strength, and perseverance. We believe that mental strength and resilience is as important as physical strength.
OUR CLUB
NJGW provides kids and teenagers with professional-level soccer training and mentorship. Our programs focus on developing the technical and positional skills that young athletes need to develop their soccer and athletic careers.

“I founded NJGW with the sole purpose of helping young athletes maximize their physical and academic output. I believe that soccer is an excellent way to build and develop core skills and values necessary to maximize one’s potential. If you are part of this club, it is because I believe you have the potential to perform at a high level.
Becoming a proficient soccer player requires commitment, discipline, and resolve. Anyone can master the sport, but not everyone is willing to do what it takes to do so. I am here to show you that it can be done, and you are here to prove me right.”
