Tarkill Mission Statement

Tarkill Soccer Club is dedicated, first and foremost, to the member families of the Sterling District (Hi-Nella, Laurel Springs, Magnolia, Somerdale, and Stratford). We will strive to create an environment that will provide each player with a valuable learning experience, an opportunity to improve their soccer skills, entry into higher levels of soccer and a chance to be part of an improving program. We will support these principles by improving individual skills through well-structured practice sessions and playing games at the highest competitive age-appropriate level possible, increasing the tactical element of team play through coach development and by using soccer as a vehicle to promote fair play, self-confidence and good citizenship. Our organization's success will be measured by how well we accomplish our objectives, not by win/loss records. We will abide by the rules and regulations of the New Jersey Youth Soccer organization (NJYS) and its affiliate leagues, specifically, the South Jersey Soccer League (SJSL) boys travel league and the South Jersey Girls Soccer League (SJGSL) girls travel league, United States Youth Soccer Association (USYSA) and FIFA, as well as the other local leagues in which our Recreation level teams play.
