Subhead: ages, facilities, lorem ipsum dolor.

Overview

The Averill Park Youth Soccer League Competitive Program provides a more rigorous level of training and play for players who seek a higher level of soccer than offered through our recreational soccer program. If your child has played at least one season of recreational soccer and has expressed an interest in a more competitive level of soccer, our travel program is a great choice! Players should demonstrate a higher level of ability and interest and families should understand that a greater commitment is required.


All teams are coached by trained parent or professional coaches.  Players receive weekly skills training by Beestera Soccer Training, Inc. Goalie training is also offered during the winter and Spring seasons.

Seasons

There are three seasons of competitive soccer each year: Fall, Winter, and Spring

The competitive season begins in the fall. For age levels by birth year, click here
