Why Gioca
Why Monroe Township families make the trip north.
Monroe Township is one of the fastest-growing towns in Middlesex County, and its young families want more from soccer than a crowded Saturday field. Gioca offers the opposite of crowded: small groups where each player gets touches, correction and encouragement from a coach who has watched them grow.
Dailey’s Pond Recreation Area is about 20 minutes from most of Monroe, via Cranbury South River Road or through Spotswood. Teams train on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday; younger birth years start at 5:30 PM and older players at 7:00 PM, finishing by 8:30 PM.
Every session combines technique, game understanding and mental performance coaching, so players learn to stay composed as well as to pass and finish. Teams from U7 to U18 compete in EDP and NJYS-certified leagues. Read how the week is organised on our training programs page, and meet Coach Zane and Coach Julian.
