OUR HISTORY
Northern United Soccer Club was formed by the merger of Adirondack and South Glens Falls Soccer Clubs. Our new colors are red and black
Through various joint meetings with the select board members of each clubs, it was determined that we share similar ideals, commitments, training philosophies, and structures. The two clubs are run by soccer professionals and boards who know each other well and have developed a trust from those years of interaction.
We are all very excited about the merger. It makes sense economically, it makes sense geographically, and most importantly it makes sense for our kids. Our goal will be to serve all players, from the youth level through their college career, at a higher level than now possible for individual clubs in this area.
Practices are held locally. Indoor practices are held at Chase Sports Complex. Outdoor practices and games are either at the beautiful Ridge Jenkinsville Park, Moreau Rec or the convenient Crandall Park. League schedules will be available at a later date with away game locations.
Our coaches and assistant coaches are licensed through Eastern New York Youth Soccer. They attend training and clinic opportunities
The club is proud of its’ corporate and individual sponsors who support the organization through generous donations.
NU Board meetings are held the 3rd week of each month. Call Ron Wolfe @ 518.792.4848 for time and location. The public is invited to attend.
