WHO WE ARE:
Silver Lake Soccer Academy is a licensed 501-c3 youth soccer program based on Staten Island. We offer youth soccer playing
opportunities for all children aged 5-18 years old. Our coaches are primarily parent volunteers that allow us to be one of the
lowest cost competitive travel soccer programs in NYC.
WHAT WE DO:
We have over 330 youth players registered for our various programs. We offer a competitive travel soccer program that
participates in both the EDP and Northern Counties Soccer Leagues. Our teams train year round and also feature in local and
regional tournaments. We also offer seasonal clinics and camps that are available to players of all ages. We offer a year round
program to all Staten Island children aged 6-7 years at no charge to families. Our club also participates in several community
based events throughout the year.
OUR PLAN:
SLSA would like to extend our club offerings to the children of Staten Island by leasing a space to create a clubhouse for the
players, coaches and teams. We would also use funds to continue to provide “FREE” programs for all children on Staten Island.

THE OUTCOME
SLSA will create a community based Clubhouse that will be available to players, coaches and teams. The Clubhouse will be used
for Team/Parent/Coach/Board meetings. Coaches will use a Media Center to view game footage. The clubhouse will be available
for team parties or “watch” parties for important professional soccer matches. The clubhouse will also pay homage to the 50 year
history of Silver Lake and its positive contributions to the Staten Island community. It will also serve as the administrative offices
of our operations department.
