The SCSC Experience

We firmly believe SCSC provides the highest value soccer experience in the area.  Our mission is to develop the most competitive Premier and Travel level teams in the area by focusing on player development.   Our SCSC players are coached by an extraordinary group of coaches with extensive certifications and coaching licenses, including NSCAA certified Directors of Coaching.  There are no similar premier clubs in our immediate area, and the premier clubs 1-2 hours away charge fees 3-5 times more than our program fees.  We provide the very same experience with proven results.  Our teams compete in the same leagues, have access to the same player identification opportunities, and have a record of winning.

Other local travel clubs may offer slightly lower fees, however, these clubs do not have access to the depth of licensed coaches SCSC has, nor the level of relationships with collegiate, ODP (Olympic Development Program) and Region I coaches that our coaches do. Coaches must have at a minimum USSF D license or higher to enter teams in NYSWYSA Premier Thruway Leagues.  In addition, SCSC in most cases offers single age playing groups which provides every player with the opportunity to play and challenge themselves on age and skill appropriate teams.

Last Spring, we had 8 teams finish in the top 3 teams of their divisions, competing against the likes of Greater Binghamton United FC, Empire United Rochester/Buffalo and Syracuse Development Academy.

For the very best in local training and competitive travel and premier soccer, join the SCSC family.  Play Hard, Have Fun!
