The coaches will host an informational meeting for all players and families this Thursday (Sept. 5) at 6pm. We will congregate near the bleachers at Ritzer.

They will discuss the season ahead and answer questions. The Boosters will also provide an update on initiatives for the season.

We will soon be collecting annual player dues through an online donation form (link coming soon). Dues help us fund development opportunities for the program and celebrations of our players, among other things.

While we ask any family who can cover the annual dues to do so, all players will receive the benefits of the Booster Club regardless of their ability to pay.

Any donation you make above the dues will be tax deductible and will help pay for team extras and for families who cannot afford the dues. A tax receipt for the donation amount will automatically be emailed to you when you complete the form.

You can also contribute to our fundraising efforts by finding sponsors or contributing items for raffles. For example, we are able to sell advertising banners at Underhill for $600. For raffle items, tickets to sporting events or shows are always a hit. If you have ideas, email Lindsay Belisle at [email protected].

To see schedules for all three teams, go to the CHS page on the Super Essex Conference website (secconference.org) and click “View Schedules” on the right. Scroll down until you see “Soccer,” click the appropriate box and the “View” button. Note that these schedules are not finalized, so check them often to make sure you’re getting the latest information.

The 2024 CHS Soccer Store is now open!

We have lots of great options to choose from, and a percentage of each sale goes directly to the Boosters.

The store will be open through Sept. 10, and orders will be distributed directly to players at practice. Turnaround time is expected to be three weeks after the store closes.

Local photographer Yasmeen Anderson will once again be shooting banner photos on Wednesday, Sept. 4, at 2pm at Underhill Field House. The cost for seniors will be covered by the boosters. Freshmen-Juniors can also sign up for a session for $40. For more information and links, check out this flyer.

Thanks to a donation from the CHS Athletic Hall of Fame Committee, we have a second Veo camera this season so both Varsity and JV games can be filmed.

The Veo cameras automatically track the action, capture key game events and create highlight clips that can be reviewed and analyzed by coaches and players. All players will be given access to the Veo platform so they can review the games and even generate personal highlight reels. The recent varsity scrimmage against Bergen Catholic is here.

We are looking for volunteers to help set up the cameras at games. Be on the lookout for a sign-up form, coming soon.

Join us in welcoming Yusuf Odubayo, the new CHS trainer, and new additions to the coaching staff: Ryan Santos, a teacher at MMS who played at TCNJ; Jordan Cimring, who played at Muhlenberg College; and Christian DeJesus, a 2022 CHS graduate.

We are always looking for visuals from all of our teams. You can drop them in this Google Folder. Feel free to create folders (i.e., “Bergen Catholic varsity photos by Your Name,”) and try to ID players in the file names if possible. You can also email them to [email protected].

We are parent volunteers working to support the boys soccer program at CHS. We are an officially recognized 501(c)(3) organization, tax ID 90-0439169.

We encourage you to follow the boosters on Facebook and subscribe to our email list.
