    Sounds like our old friend Bart Nason is back in business. He brought PSG out to Brentwood last year for a summer camp. Just another sign that Barca is Kaput. Bart knows about all the skeletons in Barca NY’s closet and now he’s hitching his saddle to SUSA. More to come.

      SUSA has entered into an agreement to acquire FC Fury and the Paul Riley Soccer Schools, while
      also succeeding Paul Riley as the new Director of Coaching of Albertson Soccer Club. This most
      recent action furthers our vision to unify and consolidate Long Island soccer families and
      professionals. With our new state of the art outdoor facility set to open in the coming months,
      we will now have the best facilities available for our players in SUFFOLK and NASSAU Counties.

      What this news means to our current members and prospective members:

      1. BOYS and GIRLS players seeking to play at a nationally competitive level and be recruited
      for college soccer have access to the ELITE CLUBS NATIONAL LEAGUE (ECNL) and ELITE
      CLUBS REGIONAL LEAGUE, the best competitive platform in the United States;

      education and exposure for college recruitment have access to the NATIONAL PREMIER
      LEAGUES (NPL), EDP, and NYCSL platform;

      3. Facilities in NASSAU and SUFFOLK Counties;

      4. Enhanced coaching staff;

      SUSA will serve as the destination for all players, whether kicking a ball for the first time or
      seeking competition against the nation’s most elite. In a true top to bottom club structure,
      grass roots female players can progress within the SUSA system up to the SUSA Women’s WPSL
      team and receive guidance on the pathway to professional play. For the boys program we will
      be continuing to develop our relationship with NYCFC into the professional ranks and college
      pathway.

      Albertson Soccer Club will continue its operation as a youth soccer club offering opportunities to
      players of all ages and abilities. SUSA, as the Director of Coaching for Albertson Soccer Club,

      NYCFC-CSL, and localized programming through both the SUSA and Albertson Soccer Club
      pathways. Together, we are the face of Long Island soccer and its future.

      relevant to your age group and current team pathway.

      Sincerely,
      SUSA Soccer Owners and Directors

        ALBERTSON SOCCER CLUB INC./ALBERTSON FURY ELEVATE YOUTH SOCCER PROGRAM
        Enter into Training Services & Collaboration Agreement with SUSA Academy
        Albertson, NY - April 20, 2020 -- Albertson Soccer Club, Inc. has contracted with SUSA Soccer
        Training to provide turnkey Director of Coaching, team coaching, and club training services.
        Flavio Ferri will become the Albertson Soccer Club’s DOC while Paul Riley enters into a new role
        as a Technical and Recruitment Advisor assisting Albertson and SUSA. While Riley will be stepping
        away from day-to-day operations at Albertson Soccer Club, Albertson Fury and SUSA players will
        continue to benefit from his vast NCAA network of relationships for aspiring players who seek to
        play at that next level.

        “The goal is to work together to provide a seamless, like-minded youth soccer program for players of all
        levels,” said John Wilson, President, Albertson Soccer Club. “This collaboration creates a Long Island
        soccer powerhouse by bringing together the best programs and players from East & West.”

        “I’m incredibly proud of what has been built at Albertson,” said Paul Riley, NC Courage Head Coach.
        “This collaboration with SUSA ensures the best talent in the state now has access to unparalleled
        resources and a fabulous platform to optimize their growth and development.”

        Albertson Soccer Club’s Director of Coaching, Flavio Ferri, states, “I am thrilled to be taking on my new
        role with the Albertson Soccer Club. Working alongside the SUSA staff and having access to their
        knowledge, infrastructure, and experience will be invaluable.”

        The new state of the art soccer-specific outdoor complex in Islip will open in the coming months.

        “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. Non ECNL platforms will continue at their current
        locations for the ease of families from both organizations.

            What a joke. SUSA can’t develop a damn thing except for a gimmick convincing stupid parents to pay for their poor training. I guess LI is not short on dumb parents with kids who are average soccer players willing to believe the hyperbole.

              Getting embarrassing. They will have no one left to play at this rate.

                          So PR:

                          -Has gutted Albertson Soccer Club and left them with no premier league

                          -BECNL is gone to Susa

                          -Albertson now under Susa training and authority - so sad and why would board allow this?

                          -Still charging monthly fees and telling families they are/were out if they don’t pay and promised half current payment would be credited to next season (which means he knew this deal was in place a long time ago)

                          -Implying to families as recently as last week that “they” were getting ECNL

                          -Has left for NC for good, but is suppose to be advisor for college recruiting? How, when he won’t be involved with these kids or see them train any longer?

                          -Current Albertson parents who I know and have been there for years are absolutely furious and feel duped by him. Trust is gone...finally I guess

                            They are a robber baron. Monopolies are not good for the consumer.

                                Any competitive teen female player on LI has been through the youth soccer meat grinder for years. What goes in one club affects the others and it has been constant churn.

                                To have one top team per age in Nassau and one in Suffolk is how it should be and how it always should have been. ( Any the pool is only affluent kids but that is what it is at this point).

                                But don't try to spin any of this as being for or about the players. We are not fools. This is the usual ugly business of youth soccer and your kid is simply a check and do not forget it.
