Viridian is an alternative energy provider to PSEG.  You can switch to using them as your energy source, save money on your bill, continue to have PSE&G as your billing source and they will donate money to FTSA!  No cost to switch and no obligation.  I switched in April of 2011 and recommend that you do so too.  Click above for more information.

PLAYER PICK UP -- We cannot be responsible for your children if you fail to pick them up after games or practices. Coaches are not allowed to drive players home.

BADGES -- Our Township requires all coaches to have passed a background check and to wear their Township issued photo ID whenever they are coaching. Instructions for applying for a background check can be found on the Township website. Before applying for a background check, you must first coordinate with the soccer league so that the Township can confirm the need for processing the request.
