About Us

Our Youth Player Development Philosophy

United FC follows the New York State West Youth Soccer Association’s (NYSWYSA) & the US Youth Soccer Association’s philosophy of play.

The shared philosophy is that ‘premier level’ soccer places undue pressure on players younger than U12 to ‘make the team’, ‘win’, etc. These younger players should really be playing in small sided games, developing their basic soccer skills and love of the game, rather than dealing with the pressure that comes with playing at the highest levels of youth soccer play. The Association’s feels that they have plenty of time for that between 12 and 19 and that we should “let young kids be young kids and not force them into extremely competitive situations before they have the skills (both soccer skills and mental preparedness) to manage it.” Read More…
