We are partnering with the Blind Brook High School Girls Varsity Soccer Team to offer a free clinic to our Rye Brook Youth Soccer players. The clinic will be run by Brian Sullivan, the Blind Brook Head Coach.
Sunday, October 13
This is a great opportunity to meet Coach Sullivan and the high school players. There is no cost, nor any signup needed. We encourage everyone who is able to attend!
Thank you for yet another terrific season. Our players and teams continued to have fun and develop out on the field, with over 250 players playing on our 20 WYSL teams, and another 150+ players playing at the U8 and pre-travel levels. They were supported by our dedicated roster of 60 volunteer coaches and managers and our Red Bull trainers.
Two of our teams, the Girls U11 Tigers and the Boys U13 Raiders played in WYSL Premier, the highest tier of the WYSL. Three other teams -- the U19 Boys Varsity, U14 Boys Wave, and U11 Boys Strykers -- played in the second highest tier.
Our U12 Girls Reign led the way for the Club, finishing as champions of the U12 G4 Division. They went undefeated with 8 wins and 2 ties, while scoring 34 goals and conceding only 12. Long may they...ahem...Reign!
Other high finishing teams include all of our teams in the second tier - the U14 Boys Wave, who finished 2nd in Division 1 with a 7-3 record, the U19 Boys Varsity who finished 3rd with a 4-4-1 record, and the U11 Boys Strykers who finished 3rd with a 6-3-1 record. At the 7 v. 7 level, the U9 Girls Empire also posted a 2nd place finish with a 5-3-2 record
Speaking of the U19 Boys Varsity, we want to recognize their coach, David "Doc" Berman, who is hanging up his coaching whistle after 26 years with RBYS. Doc not only coached his kids, but also his grandkids. His grandson Michael graduated from BBHS this year and concluded his RBYS career at the end of the Spring season. We are deeply appreciative of all of Doc's efforts for RBYS and its players for more than two-and-a-half decades.
We also want to express our gratitude to the New York Red Bulls training staff. The Red Bulls have been our valued training partner for 15 years. The Club's switch to a new training partner is no reflection on our dedicated team of trainers, who gave their all at every training session. Thank you to Carlos, Adrian, George, Greg, Jonathan and Fyzul.
While it is bittersweet to say goodbye to the Red Bulls, we are excited to be working with Marcus DiBernarndo (https://coachdibernardo.com/) and his team starting this fall. We think you and your kids will enjoy training with Coach DiBernardo and we can't wait for everyone to meet him and learn about his approach to training.
Enjoy the Summer and we'll see you in the Fall!
