The Wappinger United Soccer Club, Inc. is a not-for-profit organization with 600 players. The club aims to promote and foster youth soccer in the community by allowing young players to learn and play soccer while teaching principles such as good sportsmanship, honesty, cooperation, teamwork, and respect for authority. The club is a member of the East Hudson Youth Soccer League, US Club Soccer, and SAY Soccer.
The INTRAMURAL PROGRAM allows players to learn and participate in soccer. The soccer complex includes small, medium, modified, and full-sized fields to support the practice of starting younger players in small-sided games, which encourages children to touch the ball more often. As players age, they progress to larger fields and teams until they play full-field, regulation games.
The intramural program also includes a successful Girls’ program with teams starting at the Under 7/8 girls’ age group. The club’s policy ensures that all children participating in intramurals will play at least half of each game. Players will receive a uniform package with a jersey, shorts, and matching socks and must purchase shin guards and soccer cleats or sneakers. It is highly recommended that each child brings a soccer ball to practice and use at home.
Each fall and spring season usually consists of eight to ten games, weather permitting. The first game of the fall season will be on the Saturday after Labor Day, and practices are usually held once a week, starting during the last week of August.
Travel Program
The Wappinger United Soccer Club’s Travel team program is designed for players with advanced skills looking for a higher level of competition. The program requires tryouts for every travel player, usually from late April to early May. WUSC teams participate in competitive leagues such as the East Hudson Youth Soccer League, New York Club Soccer League, and EDP, providing dedicated players with a challenging and rewarding experience.
