Pay Attention
Make sure players pay attention to instructions. It is just like any classroom — just more fun, and outside!

all come about at different ages for kids. We have an intramural program that is available for kids in grades 1 - 7 that your child can participate in if he or she is
not selected for a travel team. We also offer soccer clinics and camps.

It is amazing how dramatically 4 players can alter any team.
This was just the case for the Floral Park Rovers in 2016.
No one could foresee how this rookie class would change the landscape of this team for years to come.

Last night the Long Island Soccer Club EDP team played against the Rough Riders Winter Select team at Globall.
What was so special about this game was that two Rovers players were on the opposite sides of the ball for the first time.
Violet has been playing for the Long Island Soccer Club EDP Team for the past year. Lauren has just started playing for the Rough Riders Winter Select Team.
Violet and Lauren have been playing soccer together for the FPSC for almost 5 years. They have a special bond both on the field and off. Their chemistry on the field is a
result of years of practicing together, both with the Rovers and also extra practice sessions working on their skills, just the two of them.
On the field, without looking, they instinctively know where the other one is at all times and they are fun to watch.
Off the field, they walk to school together and are part of each other’s families.

Division 1st & 2nd grade Fireballs tie for 1st place for the season!
Congratulations Boys!
Congratulations to the Floral Park Ducks Intramural Team for a great Fall season!
The BU11 Floral Park Thunder finished their Fall Season with a first place finish in the LIJSL N2 division.
In addition to this first place finish, the boys took second place finishes in the Oceanside Labor Day Weekend
Tournament as well as the Western Lehigh Valley Columbus Day Weekend Tournament.
The boys finished 7-1 in LIJSL with 31 goals for and only 7 goals against. 11-3-1 overall record
when including the two tournaments.
Although the coaches and parents felt this would be a rebuilding year, as the team lost some
talented players from last year, the boys proved them wrong!
2018/2019 BU11 Floral Park Thunder Players:
Sebastian Toro, Charlie McCarren, Will Fogarty, Joe Walsh, Tim Madson,
Brendan Martin, Joe Prestia, John Hastings, Leighton Gouveia, Dacen Vazquez, Finn Hastings, Eric Naronis,
Aidan Arroyo, Christopher Damato
Coaches : John Madson & Felipe Toro
The Chiefs Yellow competed in the annual Thanksgiving Shootout Tournament at the Soccer Coliseum in Teaneck NJ.
They finished with 2 wins - 1 loss - and 1 tie against New Jersey and New York competition.
It was a fun and cool experience for the girls to play in a stadium setting. They are looking forward to entering
future competitions at the Coliseum soon.
Congrats to our Direwolves - U9 Girls. The girls finished 2nd place in their division with a record of 7 wins and 2 losses. This was the first season these girls played together and they worked extremely hard and showed exceptional comradery and teamwork. We are so proud of their achievement. And, of course, everyone loves a good party at the end of a season. Go Floral Park!!!
Congrats to our Chiefs-Yellow (Gu11) - Fall 2018 Division N1 Champs! The girls finished in first place with a record of 6 wins 1 tie and 2 losses. The soccer was fun ... but nothing beats an ice cream party after a long season!!
The Rovers entered their last game of the season with only 1 tie and without a win. It has been a transitional year for the team implementing a new defensive style and working with a new trainer.
With the team having injuries to 3 starters who were out for the last month, they would take on the 3rd place Levittown team at ATS for their final season game.
It was a gritty, hard fought game with physical play all over the field. The Rovers defense was stellar in their offsides trap catching Leittown 14 times in the first half alone!
Goalie Haley Noone, who has really picked up her game all around, was complimented by the Levittown Coach after the game for her performance in goal in which she gave an
extraordinary effort and kept her team in the game.
Down 1-0 going into the 2nd half, the Rovers were pressing with shot after shot when on a nice pass from Keira McElligott, Sarah Owen fired a shot over the goalie's head to tie the game!
It was the rookie's first goal as a Rover! Congratulations Sarah!
The girls ended the season on a high and are looking forward to a new winter league, while the Rovers Tournament Team is gearing up for a busy winter tournament schedule beginning
in December in Brooklyn.
Rovers Soccer
Congrats to a great group of girls on their undefeated season(6-0-2). This was a combination of two teams (Iroquois and Shamrocks) that came together this fall and jelled right away. Several of the girls are playing up 2 years! The coaches are very proud and are excited to get back together in the spring..

Team Spotlight
Our Team Spotlight is on the entire Intramural Program which has become a tremendous part of the FPSC.
This Spring, 30 teams, 556 enrolled players, and 5 divisions will compete in the FPSC Intramural League.
The Numbers:
This Spring, 30 teams, 556 enrolled players, and 5 divisions will compete in the FPSC Intramural League.
These players will take part in 40 minute action-packed games for 6 weekends, to finish out their soccer year and prepare for the Fall 2018 season.
The Fall session is jam-packed with a 9 week season, the Fall Tournament, and Awards.
Fall Season:
In the Fall regular season, teams will do their best and compete for first and second place trophies.
The Fall also features the FPSC Fall Intramural Tournament.
All teams in the tournament play in seeded positions where they will do their best to land in one of the top three spots and earn either a Gold, Silver, or Bronze medal.
Gameday Atmosphere:
On game day Saturdays, FPBS is busy. There are hundreds of kids and scores of parents all over. There is a lot is excitement and cheering in the air. It is a fast-paced environment…we move 15 games plus 3 one hour clinics in just under 4 hours. Lots of moving pieces.
Tom King and our field manager, Steve Greene, do a great job getting it all done.
Games are well organized and usually run smoothly.
Gameday Sundays are much more subdued…only 4 games, all in the same hour, and 3 one hour clinics.
FPSC Intramural League Mission:
The FPSC’s top priority for our intramural program is for the kids to have fun…that is what FPSC Soccer is all about. We take pride in providing a fun activity for the community to take part in.
With that being said, more and more our intramural program is becoming a breeding ground for our travel program. Many more kids, at all ages, are taking the intramural competition more seriously, principally because there is a greater focus on making it to the travel level.
We are also very focused on teaching the skills and strategies necessary to excel in youth soccer. We provide a Junior Clinic for kids 3-5 years old, a Developmental Skills Clinic for Grades 1-7, and summer camps for all levels.
Matt Sotirhos is the director of the Intramural Program. This is Matts 2nd year running the entire intramural program and his 3rd year running the Junior Clinic.
“My personal experience running the program…it’s exhausting!! It really is a lot of work, especially in the offseason. Lots of time and energy go into it. However, it is extremely rewarding when you see the final product…the kids out on the pitch having fun! I also think that
the program has improved tremendously over the past 3 years: enrollment is up, skill levels have improved, the program is much more organized, and parents are generally happier, especially at the younger levels.” - Matt

Our first camp with NYCFC was a great success and all feedback from our campers was really positive.
Read what our players are saying!
"Charlotte and Thomas loved the camp, loved being with their teammates and thought the instructors were great and also very likeable. They felt it really helped to improve their skills. They would come home every afternoon and play soccer out in the back yard, continuing to work on what they learned. "
- Charlotte & Tom S.
"Despite the heat and humidity, she thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of this camp.... she never complained about going, nor the length of day (because it was broken up well with many water breaks), and said her instructor, Julian, was great.....so, Thank you!"
- Bridget M. GU13
"Amazing time! Came home everyday describing what they did in full detail. Even won a challenge (wish you would have gotten a picture of her for the site but that’s important). Great week of soccer with a great staff of trainers."
- Mia G. GU12
"Lucas had an incredible time at camp. Loved coach Jeff and all the coaches he worked with. He really got some good pointers and a lot of playing time. If we weren't away the second week of camp - I would have totally registered him for another week. Thank you Franco and your team for providing our children with an amazing experience this summer! Lucas wants to be player of the day next summer so he says he will be practicing for the next 365 days until camp next summer!"
