Gioca Soccer Academy

Gioca Soccer Academy is a Central New Jersey soccer academy based in North Brunswick Township, NJ, training at Eagle's Landing Day Camp on Davidson's Mill Road. Founded by Zane Taha and Julian Taha, the academy was created in response to local programs that prioritized size over quality, offering small-group, individualized coaching instead. The academy serves players ages 5–18 (U7–U18) with a holistic philosophy that combines technical soccer development with mental performance coaching, leadership training, and character building. Gioca currently competes in MOSA and EDP leagues, with aspirations to reach MLS Next, and offers free trial sessions to prospective families. The academy distinguishes itself through mental performance coaching, player development pathways, and a 'whole-person' approach to athlete growth.
