Continuing a Legacy of Excellence
On-Field Goals
Our on-field goals are anchored in playing extraordinary soccer through a modern, dynamic style of football, ensuring that we remain competitive in every match we play. We aim to challenge for all available trophies, including the APSL Championship and prestigious U.S. Soccer Cups—with a particular focus on the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup. By blending high-level tactical preparation, technical excellence, and unwavering team spirit, we strive to set a standard of play that not only delivers results but also captivates and inspires everyone connected to the Medford Strikers and the South Jersey Soccer Community.
Training & Facilities
Our team will train two to three times per week, ensuring a consistent schedule that balances tactical, technical, and physical development. Through our partnership with Universal Soccer Academy, players gain access to a state-of-the-art indoor training facility equipped with:

- A soccer-specific gymnasium dedicated to strength and conditioning
This professional environment provides the resources and support needed for every player to maximize their potential and excel on the field.
