This showdown will follow the Red Bulls' match against the Colorado Rapids at 3 PM and will pit the finest high school players from North and South Jersey against each other.
Nominated by the media, these high school graduating seniors will represent their respective regions and battle for the ultimate state bragging rights.
The weekend will include a practice session, an exclusive meet-and-greet with select Red Bulls players and coaches, and an honorary reception for participants. The All-Star Weekend will conclude on Sunday night, when the North and South New Jersey All-Stars will play immediately following the Red Bulls' match against the Rapids on the field at Giants Stadium.
