August 29, 2012-Last winter, the U.S. Soccer Foundation awarded a $50,000 grant to the Newburgh Armory and a $10,000 grant to South Bronx United. The Newburgh Armory is utilized by the Hudson Valley Youth Soccer League as well as the Olympic Development Program and Coaching Education classes of the Eastern New York Youth Soccer Association (ENYYSA). South Bronx United is a Cosmopolitan Junior Soccer League club located in one of the poorest sections of the United States.
