“The 2018-2019 season is quickly approaching, and we are excited to host the State Cup tournaments,” NJ Youth Soccer Executive Director Evan Dabby said. “Through our three levels of State Cup play, we are able to accommodate teams seeking various degrees of competition. Last season’s tournaments were very successful. We look forward to further developing the event this upcoming season.”
