EAST HUDSON PREMIER

The East Hudson Academy is a developmental and supplemental program for the youth soccer members of the league. It is developmental in that its purpose is to further develop each player so they may return to their respective club team with improved skills with which they can raise the level of play with their teammates. It is supplemental as it adds to each player's club experience without having to leave their club team. 

Indoor and Outdoor training sessions will be at the Hudson Valley Sports Dome. 

All teams will attend at least four outdoor tournaments with each player guaranteed to play in at least two of the four. Some players will play in more tournaments depending on roster size and player availability. For the 2020-2021 season, all Academy teams will participate in the Seaside Classic, HIT
and Lititz tournaments. We hope this will foster a sense of unity within the program and collaboration among the coaches. It will allow for schedule planning and minimize travel for families with children on different Academy teams. The tournaments the Academy plans to attend in 2020 are to be determined.

Tournaments attended the past few years have included:

June – Guilford Soccer Fest, Guilford, CT
June: Shen Mad Dog College Showcase, Albany
July: Seaside Classic – Rhode Island
July: Hudson Invitational - Our Home Tournament
July: Lititz Summer Showcase – Lancaster, PA

In addition, many teams participate in one or more indoor tournaments during the winter. The cost of these indoor tournaments is not included in Academy registration and is an optional fee for each
team.

Once selected to an EHP team all players are expected to make the EHP their top soccer priority outside of their club team commitments. You are excused from attendance during the EHYSL League schedule dates to attend EHYSL club teams games and tournaments.

These are the only exceptions. Players playing State ODP can play with the EHP teams as the tournament schedules do not usually conflict and credit will be issued for practices missed due to ODP participation.
