WHO ARE WE?
The New Jersey Spartans was founded in 2007, by owners Kevin and Charmaine Moss in Newark, NJ. It was then that our Journey officially began. In 2008, we joined the Regional American Football League, RAFL, where we completed our first football season. We ended the season with a 7-3 record and made it to the 1st Round of the Play-Offs. Ranking 12th out of the 32 teams in our league, we were voted the Best New Team in the State of NJ and in the RAFL.
In 2009, our hunger for football grew and we needed to provide our players with more opportunities to perfect their talent. We participated in the Gridiron Elite Tournament, which gave us Five Spring Football games, prior to our Summer Season. We also hosted the 1st Annual Spartan Bowl in June, where we competed against the NY Spartans for the actual “Spartan Bowl” and were named the First Spartan Bowl Champion. It was in that year we decided to expand our outreach and efforts within the local communities and made the choice of being an organization about more than just football.
In 2010, we adopted the motto “Raising the Bar” and moved our Home Base to Belleville, NJ. We grew to not only include an Adult Football Team, but added the Rising Spartans Youth Football Program, which hosts several local Youth Football Camps throughout the year. We also added the Lady Spartans Dance and Fitness Program, which participated in a Poll for the #1 Dance Team in the League. Several new additions would also include a High School Scholarship Funding Program, College Internships, and participation in numerous Community Service activities. With all the new add-ons, we were able to give back to the residents of our local community. We agreed to be an organization that promotes sports, exercise, good health, family fun, and community giving. It was in this year that we made the decision to join the Big North East Football Federation, BNEFF, and took on a new scope of competition on the field.
In 2011, realizing that our efforts to Raise the Bar were not merely enough, we took on the slogan “Return to Glory,” which was designed to perfect the talent level of the football team. We remained with the BNEFF as they initiated the Major League Football organization, MLF. We put our organization in full gear and took on the challenge of making our Game Nights an Entertaining Event. Adding Pre-Game Festivities, a fully-operating Concession Stand, a Game Day Announcer, and Musical Entertainment, Belleville NJ was the place to be on a Saturday Night. Our following increased and our Spartan TV episodes took over the web. Once again, the Spartans made it to the 1st Round of the Play-Offs and ended their 4th year with the Annual Season Banquet.
2012 will bring a lot of new changes for the New Jersey Spartans organization. Stay tuned to find out the latest and greatest from your Green, Black, and White.
