“The city never had anything for boys and girls ages 5 to 13, so for the first time in the history of Union City that we wanted to start a soccer recreation program.”
“These are the higher echelon for our group, which will help create and organize the program. This is all voluntary, and we have a lot of good people with good input about the game; some are from [established soccer programs] in West New York and North Bergen.”
“The county is helping us build a little practice soccer field at First Street adjacent to the existing Little League Park [which is shared with Jersey City]. That will hopefully be completed by mid- to the latter part of April.”
“They are mostly parents and teachers, but there are also a lot of people just interested in soccer in general. So currently, for every 10 kids we have a volunteer; we're fortunate in that sense.”
