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.

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

“The goal is to work together to provide a seamless, like-minded youth soccer program for players of all

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

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

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.
