For Memorial Day weekend (Saturday May 24th) we have been invited by Scarsdale Youth Soccer Club to participate in their annual 5v5 festival.

Festival Rules: The festival will consist of 5v5 games. Teams will be mixed at random with the intent of kids coming and having fun on their holiday weekend. Boys will be on one field, girls on another, as long as numbers allow it.

Games will not have keepers, with each field set-up with smaller goals. There are no throw-ins, with all restarts being kick-ins.

There will be staff members walking around the fields but no formal refs. 

Every 15 minutes teams will rotate. Each team will play 5 games. Individual players can simply show up to play and we will place you in a group. 

For the schedule and information, please see below;

• U8, U9 & U10 players: 8am-10am (five 15 minute games. Team formation from 8-8.15am, allow time for late comers, drinks breaks in between games)
• U11 & U12 players: 10.30-12.30pm (five 15 minute games. Team formation from 10.30-10.45am, allow time for late comers, drinks breaks in between games)

Cost: $25 per player. No sign up is required, please bring payment to the field.

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!
