THE CLUB

We are dedicated to the development of travel soccer players, to play locally, regionally, in high school and beyond. More than 20 teams play at all levels of competition, fielding over 300 boys and girls aged 8 to 18. Teams play the majority of games in the Westchester Youth Soccer League, and also compete in the EDP and Eastern New York Premier League, the highly competitive Northeast Regional Premier League, State Cup,  Mid-Atlantic Premier Soccer, NY Cup and tournaments.  Our aim is to provide players with the skills needed to play at a higher level through school and into college. We are a volunteer run organization; all club officials are current and past parents of FC Somers players.

Both our boys and girls teams form at U8 as a result of our U8 Academy program, and they compete in the spring playing up at U9.

COMMITMENT   FC Somers is a year-long commitment for teams U9 and older (High School teams typically play one season – spring). Players are expected to attend a minimum of two training sessions per week during the season and one training session per week during the winter.  All players participate in tryouts, typically in May, to form teams for the upcoming fall season. As teams and players strengthen and enhance their skills, depending on a team’s ability and desire, additional playing and training opportunities open up, such as in-season tournaments, state cup, summer tournament series, premier.  We encourage players to participate in soccer camps over the summer months.

TRAINING Our trainers are state/nationally certified, have undergone rigorous US Club Soccer Risk Management (background check), and have a proven record of success.  Teams train twice a week each season (fall and spring) and once a week, indoors during the winter. In addition, throughout the year we hold weekly complementary specialized training sessions for players and goal keepers.   Meet our Trainers.
