The MetroStars Black

The MetroStars Black is the MetroStars Reserve team. They play in the Champions League which is a bunch of the top semi pro clubs from the NJ area. They are coached by Antonio Meza and players such as Fausto and Martin Klinger, Birahim Diop, Alex Dixon, Christian Sanje, Joaquin Alvarez and most importantly Rodrigo Faria have all came from this program.

I will be attending a MetroStars Black practice soon and hope to get some information about the team!
Check back for more on the reserve team soon
