From Tab Ramos:
NJSA 04 Members:
After experiencing a great trip this year with two of our teams to Peru I am excited to be taking part in next summer’s trips. We will be taking 3 teams with us to Peru and 3 teams to Argentina. I will be coaching one of the teams and it will be a group of players who have been involved at our club since its inception. This will be the 93/94 group, the Gunners. A great way for most of them to play together and what better country to end this wonderful journey than Argentina as its hosting Copa America. A competition Argentina has won 14 times!
Our trip to Peru in 2011 will consist of playing some great games against the top academies in Lima and will be an unforgettable trip just as it was this summer. Peru is a country rich in soccer tradition and beautiful sceneries and all of our boys who participated this year are anxious to go back.
This trip will be offered to NJSA 04 members first.
I truly hope that you are able to take advantage of such great opportunities to travel the world, experience different cultures and see first hand what soccer means to people in other countries.
Tab Ramos
President NJSA 04 - TRSP
