No, our programs are open to players from all communities.

All of our soccer programs are led by Greenburgh United and New York Red Bulls trainers who hold USSF or UEFA certifications. Each travel team benefits from a dedicated trainer who oversees every practice session and coaches on match days. Our trainers collectively embrace the New York Red Bulls / Greenburgh United training philosophy—emphasizing skill development, teamwork, and a passion for the game—and they uphold the values that define our club.

No. Greenburgh United exclusively employs certified professional trainers to maintain an objective, high-performance coaching environment. Parents of players are not permitted to serve as trainers or coaches, nor do they influence the training curriculum, team formation, field positions, or playing time decisions. By ensuring all coaching decisions are made by unbiased professionals, we uphold the elite standards that define our club.

Yes. Each travel team is assigned a dedicated professional trainer who leads every practice session and coaches on match days. This ensures a consistent, high-quality training environment for all players throughout the season. Parents are not involved in coaching, so you can trust that your child’s development is guided exclusively by certified professionals.

Most of our travel teams train twice a week—one weekday session and one Saturday session—and play their matches on Sundays. Our Elite Teams train three times per week, with games scheduled on Saturdays or Sundays. The fall season typically runs for 11 weeks starting in early September, while the spring season also spans 11 weeks beginning in early April.

We recognize that convenience is important to our families, and because we live in such a robust soccer region, there’s no need for extensive travel at younger ages. Our U7/U8 teams participate in the WYSL Mini League, competing against local Westchester communities. Travel Teams playing in WYSL mainly stay within Westchester County, with occasional matches in Rockland, the Bronx, or Manhattan. Travel Teams playing in EDP may travel a bit farther upstate or into Connecticut, as well as the Bronx, Manhattan, or Brooklyn. Overall, we strive to minimize travel distances while still ensuring a high level of competition for our players.

At Greenburgh United, we carefully evaluate each player’s technical, tactical, and athletic abilities to group them with teammates of comparable skill. This ensures balanced team development and places our squads in the most fitting environment for fair, competitive play. Typically, teams begin in the WYSL, where they are placed in divisions matching their collective skill level. As certain teams progress and demonstrate the requisite ability, we transition them into EDP, continuing the same merit-based placement philosophy in an even more competitive setting. Above all, our roster decisions are rooted solely in soccer criteria—never location, personal connections, or other non-soccer factors.

Not necessarily. At Greenburgh United, we reevaluate our team formations each year to ensure players continue to be placed with peers of comparable skill. Every spring, we conduct tryouts and assessments for the upcoming season, which may lead to roster changes as players develop. Our objective is to foster a positive growth environment by grouping players at similar levels, resulting in the best conditions for both individual and team success.

We strive to accommodate as many players as possible. For younger athletes (U7 and U8), we can typically offer placement on a travel team. If they’re not yet ready, they can continue in our Pre-Travel Program for another season. For players (U9 and above), if a travel team is at capacity or more skill development is needed, we may offer a spot on our Practice Only Squad or in our Development Program. Ultimately, as a community-centric club, our goal is to place each player in the most appropriate environment to foster growth and enjoyment of the game.

At Greenburgh United, a not-for-profit organization, we believe in providing a top-tier soccer experience that remains accessible to all. While our fee structure varies by age group, we are one of the most affordable clubs in Westchester offering full-time professional training. Your registration covers essentials such as insurance, league fees, field rentals, referee costs, and trainer compensation—all managed by the club. Families are not required to handle separate funding or administrative tasks, so they can focus on what truly matters: skill development, teamwork, and a passion for the game.

Yes. We strongly encourage families to reach out to us to discuss options.
