Who Are We?
Meetings
Carmel United Soccer Club is committed to providing activities through our Inhouse Recreational, Travel, and Academy programs that offer both social and physical development for children of all skill levels in a supportive and safe environment. We shall encourage and promote good sportsmanship, athletic development, and community involvement. Our goal will be to provide age-appropriate training in a positive development environment while maintaining a fun and enjoyable experience.
Our Travel program will provide a higher level of play for more committed players where teams will be afforded the opportunity to play in competitive leagues. In conjunction with the Carmel Central School District, we strive to continually feed players from our Travel program into the Carmel High School soccer program, including George Fischer Middle School Modified soccer, as well as Junior Varsity and Varsity teams.
Carmel United will always strive to operate to the best of our ability within the context of the following principles:
- To enhance player self-esteem, confidence, emotional development, and overall character
- To always put the best interest of the player above all others.
- To provide equal access to the appropriate developmental programs for both boys and girls.
- To maintain a balanced perspective on the outcome of games and sportsmanship.
- To assure that all adults associated with the program are exemplary role models of sportsmanship, leadership, and support.
Founded in 1980, Carmel United Soccer Club (of New York) is a registered 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to soccer. As a not-for-profit, our board members are not paid. We are not a school or town sponsored program, but our players predominantly come from within the Carmel Central School District.

We are committed to the training of our players to prepare them for high school level competition and beyond.
