GREATER HUDSON VALLEY LEAGUE

WOMEN’S and MEN’S U23 TEAMS

Greetings !

 

It gives us great pleasure to announce the expansion of the Greater Hudson Valley Soccer League ( a division of Eastern District Soccer League) into women's U-23 Soccer as well !.

Last year, GHVSL began play with a two month schedule of matches for eight teams of young men Under 23 years of age. The season was a tremendous success with two of our teams competing in the finals of the first ever U-23 State Championship.

Amateur State Cup, where Cortlandt United defeated LaGrange 3 - 2 in a great match.

 

·         The season will begin the first week of June, 2010 and end by late July, 2010.

·         Teams may roster as many as 30 players but must have at least 14 to be accepted.

·         Team Registration is $150. This is due on or before April 1, 2010 and must be submitted to reserve a place for each team.  This fee is non-refundable.

·         Player Registration is $40 per player. Players must be registered not later than May 22, 2010.

·         The season will consist of approximately 10 matches played evenings and Sundays.

·         Matches will use a three official system. Fees are $70 for the referee and $40 for each Assistant or $ 150 total per match.

·         Initially, administrative support for this league will continue to be handled through the East Hudson Youth Soccer office while the league develops its own infrastructure. Teams from Putnam, Dutchess, Westchester, Orange, Ulster and Rockland counties are welcome.

This is a great opportunity for the players who have grown up in our youth programs. It is scheduled to allow college students returning home to participate. We hope to see all our members working to make this a reality for the young men and women in their communities. If you do not have a team but are interested please contact Jim Eleftherion and he will assist you in finding a team.
