The Chelsea team competes in the Eastern Development Program (EDP) league. Although the team is based out of Montgomery, over one-half of our players are from Hillsborough, Flemington, Franklin, Manville, North Brunswick, Lawrenceville, and Branchburg.
The ideal Chelsea prospect is a MAPS player that is looking to move to the next level and seeks team stability. We expect the boys to excel academically. They also volunteer for the United Way of Northern New Jersey. The boys and families get together for meals and attend collegiate and professional soccer matches. We utilize DTS' facilities year-round and work with Trainers Frenkie Laurens and Roy van Ekert. During the winter, we train twice a week and play in the Rutgers MAPS futsal league. Players also get a discount if they enroll in a DTS class.
Although our focus is squarely on long-term development of the individual and team, we have been successful in league and tournament play:
