“With the new location in Nassau County and the new contract with Albertson Soccer Club, who has a long track record of producing top talent, we are excited to expand the impact we can have on young athletes. Together we will help even more soccer players reach their goals of playing collegiate and professional soccer in the US and abroad.” Said Glenn Schneider, CEO of SUSA Soccer.

The clubs will continue operations as follows; SUSA Academy (Suffolk County), and Albertson SC/Fury (Nassau County and Queens), feeding into “SUSA FC” in the Girls ECNL, and “Albertson SUSA” in the Boys ECNL. ECNL games will be played at SUSA’s new state of the art soccer-specific complex in Central Islip, boasting fully lit turf fields, and full amenities.
