The Aspiring Player Program was introduced, and designed, to strengthen the youth soccer program within our community.
Over the years, the landscape of our sport has evolved into for-profit enterprises leaving significant numbers of our young athletes and passionate soccer players without a club, team or sense of community to play in. Being told "sorry you're not good enough" or, "congratulations you made the team. Your registration fee is $$$$."
But, we are not seeing the bigger picture - Soccer is much more than a competition! Some of the best players on Long Island simply want to play, have fun, and yes - win some games! But when their U19 season ends, they continue to play the sport they love for fun.
Important Age Group Update for Intramural Soccer
Beginning with the upcoming Fall 2026 season, or intramural age groups have been adjusted to align with the current player registration guidelines established by the U.S. Soccer Federation. Youth soccer organizations across the country are transitioning from birth-year registration to school-year age grouping to better align players with their classmates and peers.
As a result, some players may notice that they have been placed in a different age division than in previous seasons. While this may be an adjustment for some families, the goal is to keep children playing with their school friends, improve the overall player experience, and create a more developmentally appropriate environment.
Age groups are as follows:
U3 - Players Born 8/1/2023 - 7/31/2024
U4 - Players Born 8/1/2022 - 7/31/2023
U5 - Players Born 8/1/2021 - 7/31/2022
U6 - Players Born 8/1/2020 to 7/31/2021
U7 - Players Born 8/1/2019 - 7/31/2020
U8 - Players Born 8/1/2018 - 7/31/2019
U9 - Players Born 8/1/2017 - 7/31/2018
