Team & Intelligence
Overview
The Super Base Academy Soccer Program is more than just travel soccer—it's a transformational journey for boys ready to grow as athletes, scholars, and leaders. We combine elite-level coaching with a rigorous academic framework and wraparound mentorship to develop each child’s full potential.
Weekly Open House
In-person from 6-7pm, then by Zoom 8-9pm
Starting Monday, 7/14/25.
Program Director, Arman Rousta, will present the vision and answer questions from parents and kids, who are encouraged to participate.
We will talk about what makes our Academy and Activecare Programs different than any other options that families have in and around Jersey City.
The application and acceptance process, the criteria we’re looking for from families, etc.
50 Boys & Girls born in 2014, 2015, 2016, or 2017

Academics First. Character Always.
We are an Academy, not a club. That means:
Every athlete is also a student, with weekly check-ins on homework, grades, and school conduct
Mandatory tutoring sessions are built into each week, either before or after training
We partner with schools and parents to ensure each child is:
-
Completing assignments
-
Staying focused in class
-
Contributing positively to their school community
Younger boys & girls (ages 3–7) may enter the Feeder Program for foundational training, but will not compete in travel leagues in Year 1
No Player Competes Without Academic Accountability.
Athletes who fall behind academically or have behavior issues at school will pause participation until they realign with Academy standards.
Student-Athlete Model
Each child will set quarterly scholastic goals (GPA, reading, behavior)
Tutoring will be provided in core subjects: Math, Reading, Writing, and Study Skills
Students will use Timebug to track academic progress and reflections
Communication logs will document interactions with:
-
Parents and guardians
-
Homeroom and subject teachers
-
School administrators (when applicable)
