Dear Fans, Supporters, City Residents, and Sponsors,
On behalf of Upstate United FC, I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you for your unwavering support and dedication. It is an honor to be part of a community that shares our passion for soccer and our commitment to developing the next generation of soccer talent right here in Syracuse, NY.
Our mission at Upstate United FC is clear: to provide a comprehensive and professional soccer development program that nurtures young athletes from their early years through to their pursuit of collegiate and professional careers. We are dedicated to fostering not only exceptional soccer players but also well-rounded individuals who embody sportsmanship, teamwork, and dedication.
Our goals are ambitious, yet achievable with the collective effort of our community:
- Youth Development: We aim to offer the highest quality coaching and training facilities to our youth players, ensuring they receive the technical, tactical, and physical preparation necessary to excel in the sport. Our Early Development Program (EDP) and competitive youth teams are designed to cultivate a love for the game and develop fundamental skills from a young age.
- Pathway to Professionalism: Through our structured player pathway program, we provide a seamless transition from youth soccer to our senior UPSL Team and future USL League Two team. Our objective is to equip our players with the skills, experience, and exposure required to succeed at the highest levels of the sport.
- Community Engagement: Upstate United FC is deeply rooted in the Syracuse community. We strive to be more than just a soccer club; we want to be a pillar of support and pride for our city. We will continue to engage with local schools, organizations, and residents to promote the values of health, fitness, and teamwork.
- Support and Growth: With the generous backing of our sponsors and the enthusiasm of our supporters, we aim to grow our club and expand our reach. Your support enables us to provide scholarships, improve facilities, and offer more opportunities for our youth.
As a per-professional development soccer club, our vision is to see our players thrive not only on the field but also in their personal and academic pursuits. We believe that through dedication, hard work, and the right guidance, our players can achieve their dreams, whether that means playing professionally, earning a college scholarship, or contributing positively to society.
Together, we can achieve great things. Thank you for being part of the Upstate United FC family. We look forward to celebrating our successes with you and building a brighter future for soccer in Syracuse.
Yours in soccer,
Hanson Goeso
President, Upstate United FC
