Soccer Field at Greenbrook Park
North Plainfield, NJ

Take any major roadway like the Turnpike, Parkway, I-287, US 202/206 to US Route 22 East or West.  In North Plainfield, exit at West End Avenue and go south (i.e. from 22 West you must cross 22 using jughandle to make a "left", from 22 East simply exit using ramp to make a right). Continue on West End Avenue through the first traffic light.  After going over a bridge over a brook there will be two streets entering on your right, and West End Avenue makes a sharp left.  Take the street entering on your right that is, in effect, letting you continue to go straight instead of turning with West End Avenue.  This street is Willow Avenue Extension.  Go up the hill and down again.  The entrance to parking at Greenbrook Park is on your right (just before the street makes a 90 degree left turn).

IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT ATTENDING GAMES AT OUR FIELDS:

  • We suggest you bring your own refreshments.

  • We suggest spectators bring their own chairs.

  • Everyone should allow at least 5 feet beyond the touchline for game play.

  • Everyone should clean up after themselves.

  • We are committed to the ideals and practices of S.A.G.E.  All parents and players have pledged to follow the S.A.G.E. principals.  Therefore, do not criticize the players, coaches, referees or other spectators at our games.

Soccer is a game involving great freedom for the players. Attempts to control the action on the field from the touchlines are the opposite of what is intended by the sport. Coaches or parents should not belly-up to the line or run up and down the field along with the play. While a 'coachable moment' may be used to instruct players, the players will benefit most from appreciative fans and coaches who can wait until practice time to teach.

Soccer is a game of physical contact and one where fouls are sometimes overlooked. There are times when a player of low skill but good strength will prevail against a skilled opponent by strength alone. When a player is fouled and the ball goes to a teammate, the referee has the option of not stopping the play to give a free kick to the team that already has possession.

Soccer is a game that is given to the referee to control. This control applies before, during, and after the game and includes both the players and adults. Most calls made by the referee have to do with the ball going off the field. This is done with the help of a linesman. Generally a foul must be careless, reckless or involve disproportionate force and result in an advantage to the fouling team before the referee stops play. This is a difficult concept for the new spectator to grasp.
