FOREVERGREEN
Cedar Stars Bergen Girls is the home of the girls division for CSA Bergen and CSA North. Alongside our sister division at Monmouth, Cedar Stars Bergen Girls is a founding member of the Girls Academy.
CSA Bergen girls compete at various levels within the NJ youth soccer landscape, from the pinnacle of youth soccer at the elite GA to the EDP Soccer podium. At these levels we are successfully able to field teams from U8 to U19 to compete and perform, allowing us as a staff and organization to proudly look to the future as we grow, support and offer our girls the best opportunities to arrive at their potential.
With the announcement of our USL W League team we have further enhanced our player pathway on the girls side to allow our players to push through to the college and professional ranks and realize their maximum potential.

LEAGUE STRUCTURE AND FINANCIAL AID
Leagues
EDP U8 - U12
Girls Academy League U13 - U19
Cedar Stars Academy will be looking to build multiple teams at each age group between the ages of U8 and U12 that will play locally and regionally.
For the Girls Academy League, we will only be looking to build one "Elite" team so that we can focus on the individual development of the players and give each player the ideal environment to develop.
The Girls Academy League college coach attendance and National Team scout attendance is incomparable to what some other leagues and organizations offer.
Scholarships and Financial Aid
Cedar Stars Academy believes no player should be turned away from a club due to financial hardship.
Cedar Stars Academy has scholarships and financial aid available for players who are in need.
