The New York Club Soccer League (NYCSL) is expanding into the Hudson Valley beginning this fall for U-8 through U-18 boys and girls.


“We are very excited to bring our services to the Hudson Valley,” commented Gary Grossman, President of the NYCSL. “The area was ready for positive change and we will now have a unique opportunity to offer new programs to our current members as well as our new partnership with the Hudson Valley region.”

The expansion provides additional clubs in the Hudson Valley with access to many unique and beneficial resources to help the clubs grow, improve their developmental services, and benefit their players.

Three levels of play are currently offered by the NYCSL, the top tier of which is the National Premier Leagues (NPL) Division. Also offered by the NYCSL is a league which includes Long Island, the five boroughs, Westchester, and the Hudson Valley, as well as local leagues.

The NYCSL also hosts the New York Cup, which will conclude its 2012 edition on May 20 at the HBC Complex in Melville, N.Y.
“I am excited to work with the current HVYSL administration,” said Grossman. “The league itself brings integrity and professionalism and is a tireless advocate for the player. HVYSL leadership will serve as the NYCSL representative for the Hudson Valley region.”

Since 2004, US Club Soccer has conducted the id2 National Identification and Development Program, which provides an opportunity for the country's elite youth soccer players to be identified and developed – regardless of affiliation or lack thereof – while also being scouted for inclusion in U.S. Soccer’s National Team programs. As part of the id2 Program, US Club Soccer also organizes Player Development Programs (PDPs).

Both the id2 Program and Player Development Programs have been granted Olympic Development Program status.

As part of its commitment to improving player development through club development, US Club Soccer has created Youth Club Standards, a comprehensive set of aspirational guidelines for all clubs across the United States. The document reflects specific areas or platforms that clubs and club leadership should be targeting for growth, change, and improvement within the organization.

Larry, what ever happened with the East Hudson situation. Did Ken Gulmi actually resign as president of that league. Who is the new president.

east hudson website still has ken as president

Hey Larry could not find out where else to post this, sorry for putting it here. But July 1 starts another whole travel year........technically. So how long you going to wait to get the "New" age groups up on message boards. I am sure there are a whole new bunch of wackos ready to roll!! LOL

Well you are right, however, I was hoping the registered users would start the age groups.

A registered user can start a new topic. I'd rather they do it than me so let's give it another week. They are usually in place prior to all the leagues alignments.

Thanks and I'm on it.
