The Capital District
Youth Soccer League invites your participation in a
high level competition for ODP, Select, and Premier
teams.
Our area is one of the fastest growing regions in the
country for youth soccer, having recently produced
nationally competitive teams, national youth team players
and state high school championships.
Please join us for a tournament to remember with
friendly hospitality, great soccer fields, convenient
access whether you are driving or flying. Summer in
Upstate New York is full of fabulous destinations in
places like Saratoga
Springs,
Lake George
the Berkshires, Adirondacks, and Catskills, plus the
capital city of NY, Albany. Albany is a vibrant and historic city,
a wonderful place to combine soccer with outdoor
activities, history and relaxation. Easy access to
places such as Lake
Placid, the Tanglewood
Music Festival, Saratoga Performing Arts Center, Vermont
and Massachusetts make it a perfect choice for a
summer getaway. The National Soccer Hall of Fame and Museum is also an easy and scenic drive from the Capital District.
