WALL SOCCER CLUB
http://www.wallsoccer.org/
The goal of the Wall Soccer Club (WSC) is to promote soccer within the Township of Wall and to
encourage the spirit of fair play and sportsmanship. In this effort, we will provide a supervised program of soccer
games, practices, clinics, and other associated events to promote the game.
The Wall Soccer Club also looks to develop dedicated coaches, improve our facilities and enhance the community
in which we operate our soccer program. The vision of WSC is to teach our young players how to play soccer both
technically and tactically, in a safe, community-based environment while they are participating at the proper level.
By providing multiple teams at each age group, we give players of different abilities the opportunities for success
through soccer. Our teams range from the 3-5 year old Future Stars program to the U19 Elite Travel level.
WALL LACROSSE CLUB
https://www.leaguelineup.com/welcome.asp?url=wallax
The mission of the Wall Lacrosse Club is to promote and maintain a competitive youth lacrosse
program. Our program is designed to ultimately feed our players into the Girls and Boys Wall Township
High School Lacrosse teams. Unlike any other local youth program, the WLC works in conjunction with
both the Girls and Boys High School Varsity Coaches for continuity. We are always working to develop
the program to the next level.
