The Jersey Sharks Football Program, established in 2018, has quickly made its mark as a premier minor league adult football team. Their commitment to excellence on and off the field has earned them a reputation as one of the best in the country.
In just their sixth season, the Sharks clinched the League of All League Championship, securing an invitation to the prestigious Palm Bowl XVIII in Orlando, Florida. Their victory against the West Michigan Patriots capped off an impressive 13-1 season and secured them the #3 national ranking among hundreds of minor league teams.
The Jersey Sharks organization understands the importance of giving back. Their mission extends beyond the football field, aiming to positively impact young men within their program and the broader community. They provide a safe space for adults aged 18 and older to stay active, forge connections, and become role models in their communities.
The Sharks’ success is fueled by the support of local sponsors, player dues, and other fundraising efforts. Their financial backing not only supports team operations but also funds their impactful “Give Back Program.”
Through this program, the Sharks have contributed to numerous organizations, including the Christopher Reeve Foundation, local food banks, domestic violence programs, cancer research initiatives, and more. They have also generously donated over 30 uniforms to the ILL-TOWN SHARKS, a local Pop Warner Team, further demonstrating their dedication to supporting youth sports.
The Jersey Sharks remain committed to fostering a positive environment for local youth and cheer sports programs. Their “Give Back Program” will continue to grow, ensuring they provide much-needed support to charities and organizations throughout New Jersey.
The Jersey Sharks are an example of a team that excels both on and off the field. They will play their home opener on August 17th at 7:00pm at Edison High School, tickets are $10 at the gate for adults and kids are free.
