The NEA Jr. High Soccer League is a recreational league created to provide Jr. High soccer opportunities for schools that don’t offer their own programs. Teams are made up of players from the schools they currently attend, and players must play for their own school’s team. The only exception is if a school doesn’t have enough players to form a team; in such cases, these players may join another team in need, as determined by the league committee. Player recruitment from towns without soccer programs is not allowed until all teams are sufficiently staffed. The league strictly enforces conduct rules for coaches, players, parents, and referees.
