"I believe that playing sports not only builds character and confidence but also gives student-athletes a sense of accomplishment." - Coach Frank Dasti - Owner The North Jersey Cardinals. Our goal is to provide an environment that encourages athletes to develop on and off the playing field, to create a positive learning environment in good and bad times. Established in 2006 as an elite 18U organization with the likes of Rick Porcello, the program has grown into an organization with competitive and developmental teams from 9U to 18U. We believe that a player's involvement in the program will help them to become more successful in life thru the education and exposure that we provide.
