Our objective is to attain 100% high school graduation milestone for our young stars in our academy program and placement in college programs across the country.
On the playing side, the Club will continue to invest in the recruitment and development of players.
With this success, we will attract more parents from the communities of Syracuse which will in turn boost the investment into the sustainability of the Club.
CULTURE:
At Upstate United FC, a culture has developed over the years where we thrive on the fact that we can compete with so called ‘bigger clubs’ that usually have a bigger budget, a more extensive scouting network, and a bigger fan base.
We do this by having a culture where our players have an excellent work ethic allied to our technical, tactical, psycho social, and physical skills.
