“Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice and most of all, love of what you are doing or learning to do.” -Pelé
The Founder
"My name is Nick Desrocher and I am the founder of NJD Soccer. I currently serve as the Head Coach for Ellington Boys Middle School Soccer team. It's a privilege to be able to guide and inspire players as they navigate their own soccer journeys. Witnessing their growth, both on and off the field, is truly gratifying. One of the most fulfilling aspects of coaching is seeing the progress that players make through hard work and determination. Whether it's mastering a new technique, improving their physical fitness, or developing a deeper understanding of the game, these achievements are moments of celebration for both the players and the coaches. But it's not just about the technical skills. We believe in fostering teamwork, sportsmanship, and respect within our soccer community. Through collaborative drills, small-sided games, and engaging training sessions, we aim to cultivate a positive and supportive atmosphere where players can thrive. We understand that each player is unique, with their own strengths, goals, and aspirations. That's why we provide a variety of programs and opportunities to cater to different age groups and skill levels. From recreational leagues that focus on building a love for the game, to more competitive teams that push players to reach their full potential, we have something for everyone."
