Albertson Soccer Club

What Albertson Soccer Club does

Albertson Soccer Club (legal entity Albertson Soccer Club, Inc.; EIN 11-2693280) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit youth soccer organization headquartered in the Albertson/East Hills area of Long Island, New York, serving children from Pre-K through age 19 across boys' and girls' programs. It operates a vertically layered developmental pathway — Munchkins (Pre-K/Pre-School), Intramurals (K–3rd grade), Jr. Academy (u7/u8), Academy @ Harbor Links (Pre-K–3rd grade, in partnership with Futsal 516), Travel teams (u8–u19), Premier Travel/Albertson Fury (ECNL and invitations-only tiers), MLS Next Academy Division (boys u13–u19), and the Northeast Academy League (NEAL) for the 2013/2014 age groups launched April 2024. The club competes in an unusually broad set of elite pipelines — ECNL, ECNL Regional League, NEGDL, EDP, NYCFC CSL, NYCS top divisions, MLS Next, and NEAL — and fields professional coaching staff including Directors of Coaching Flavio Ferri (former LI Rough Riders Head Coach) and Paul Riley, with Marcelo Arango leading the NEAL program since April 2024.

The business model is registration-fee-driven and seasonal across each program tier (for example, Munchkins at $220 and Intramural Boys at $245 for Spring 2026, both inclusive of a jersey and eight sessions), with travel/Premier/ECNL/MLS Next dues at materially higher unsubsidized rates and Premier Travel registration by invitation only. Ancillary revenue lines include summer/spring-break/kick-off camps (including a partnership with SUSA Academy), uniform pass-through via soccer.com, and the recurring Alby Cup annual tournament (5th edition in 2026 at Orlin & Cohen Soccer Complex), with registration flows executed through LeagueApps for general programs and PlayMetrics for tryouts. Go-to-market is community-led: seasonal tryouts at Harbor Links, Hofstra Bubble, and Tully Park, alumni success stories (Crystal Dunn, Allie Long, 20+ youth national team players, hundreds of college commits) used as social proof, and a Hall of Fame program that doubles as community-building and brand reinforcement. The organization also runs the Albertson Kickers special-needs program free of charge and maintains a financial-aid pathway. There are no disclosed financials, AI/ML capabilities, or institutional funding; the underlying technology stack is limited to SaaS registration and management platforms rather than proprietary systems.
