Eastern New York Youth Soccer Association (ENYYSA) is a 501c(3) public benefit corporation and is the official youth soccer association of the United States Soccer Federation and the United States Youth Soccer. ENYYSA is nearing 100,000 members and more than 25,000 volunteers. Members are affiliated with 10 leagues throughout the association, which covers: Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn, Staten Island, the Bronx, Long Island, Westchester, and upstate New York east of Route 81. While ENYYSA member leagues administer their local programs, the leagues also take advantage of the assistance provided by ENYYSA to develop and educate their coaches and players; provide insurance coverage for their participants; and administrative assistance.

ENYYSA is responsible for several programs. The association annually conducts State Cup competitions to decide the state champion teams in each competitive soccer age group. Starting at Under 12, the winners of the “Open” cup competition tournament go on to compete at the Regional competition and, starting at U14, eventually to the US Youth Soccer National Championships. ENYYSA also administers the state association’s Olympic Development Program. This system allows potential U.S. National Team members and Olympic hopefuls to be identified and developed to their fullest potential. Additionally, ENYYSA has shown a strong commitment to coaching, player, and referee development by offering several coaching, player, and referee clinics throughout the year.
