  • Snow Day = Play Day! ❄️⚽️

Huge thank you to all the families who brought their kids out to our snow day camp today — what a blast!

It was so great to see them get out of the house, make new friends, and burn off that snowy-day wiggle energy.

Extra thanks to our coaches who rallied on such short  notice! 

 We loved every minute- what an awesome crew!⚽️❤️🖤
  • 🇺🇸⚽ MATCHDAY ENERGY! ⚽🇺🇸

The USWNT is back on the pitch and ready to bring the fire as they take on Paraguay! 💥
Expect speed, skill, grit, and that relentless USA mentality we all love. Every touch, every tackle, every goal—this is what top-level soccer looks like.

Kickoff can’t come soon enough.

Let’s go, USA! 🇺🇸🔥
  • Snow on the ground, smiles on the field ❄️⚽

When school was closed and cabin fever was setting in, our soccer clinics were the perfect escape! Huge thanks to the families who bundled up, braved the snow, and were very happy to get their players out of the house and moving.

Nothing beats seeing kids having fun, staying active, and loving the game—even on a snow day!
  • Proud moment for SYSA 👏⚽

Our Technical Director, Coach Ryko Marich, is attending the United Soccer Coaches Convention in Philadelphia, connecting with some of the top leaders and innovators in the game. Opportunities like this are invaluable—coach education is the backbone of player development, and staying current with best practices, new ideas, and evolving methodology directly benefits every SYSA player on the field.

By learning from the best and building relationships across the soccer community, Coach Ryko continues to raise the standard for SYSA!

Always learning. Always growing. Always putting players first. ❤️🖤⚽
