SUSA FC Academy

What SUSA FC Academy does

SUSA FC Academy is a privately held youth soccer organization founded in 2001 and headquartered in Central Islip, New York, where it operates the SUSA Orlin & Cohen Sports Complex. It is positioned as Long Island's largest soccer academy and delivers a tiered player-development pathway from early introduction through pre-professional: Bright Futures for ages 2-8, the Junior Academy for ages 7-8, and the Boys/Girls Academy for ages 9-18, with competitive placement in ECNL, ECNL Regional League, Pre-ECNL, EDP, and NPL. The senior competitive layer includes a WPSL women's team that won the 2024 Metropolitan Conference title and a League For Clubs men's program, producing a documented alumni pipeline that reached the NWSL in 2026.

The infrastructure underpinning the program includes five turf fields, an indoor training space, and a sports dome with a futsal court, with a fifth turf field added in 2026 to expand capacity. Coaching, league affiliation, and tournament operations constitute the core technology stack, supported by partnerships with Techne Futbol and Soccer Zone USA on the training/analytics side and with Gotham FC and NYCFC on the professional pathway. Recent strategic moves in 2026 — the Long Island Slammers partnership, ECNL Boys expansion to two teams per age group, and the fifth-field build-out — point to active capacity and product-line expansion across Suffolk County.

Revenue mechanics are not disclosed. The business model is built on tuition across multiple age-tier programs, adult-league participation, summer camps, tournament entry and hosting, sponsorships (including M&T Bank and Orlin & Cohen), and facility-related income. The customer base is a long-tail of individual youth families, adult players, and senior-team athletes, with no disclosed enterprise concentration and no outside funding rounds, suggesting founder/operator-owned private ownership.
