The NYC youth soccer scene is complex and challenging for players and parents to navigate. Combining decades of experience playing at top clubs, our staff has created the first guide to assist families. The guide includes the websites, locations, age groups, and leagues of top clubs in the metropolitan area.


Tryouts for most of these clubs are usually held in May for the season that begins in September. That said, some will take players in other windows like December. Chances of acceptance from a tryout pool are much lower than a trial, where players can train with the actual team. Y4YFC helps kids secure trials to these clubs, skipping the unpromising tryout process. 


If you are familiar with the national structure, skip below to our club guide. Otherwise, below is a brief explanation of the leagues.
