FALL 2024
Started in 2005, Sparkle Motion is the girls’ and non-binary high school competitive team. Consistently ranked as one of the top teams in New Jersey, Sparkle Motion takes its name from the cult classic film Donnie Darko. The team has both varsity and junior varsity divisions, and new players are welcome to join.
Practice takes place Monday through Thursday from September until early November. Players learn gameplay, strategy, and the principles of the Spirit of the Game, while performing athletic drills. Several local tournaments are scheduled this fall (Jersey Devil on 9/21 and Coconut Classic on 11/2 & 11/3). The teams use the fall season to prepare for a highly competitive spring, which includes out-of-state travel.
Sparkle Motion aims to qualify for the 2025 nationals.
