Mission and History

Uptown Soccer is a free soccer program based in Northern Manhattan. UpSA serves kids ages 6-16. Our participants range from beginners to more advanced players looking to further develop.

In 2009 when David Sykes and Cynthia Carrion founded Uptown Soccer Academy, no-cost soccer training was not available in Washington Heights and Inwood. They formed UpSA to bring high quality soccer coaching and the joy of soccer to underserved kids in their community,

Why we're here

Uptown Soccer provides a safe place for kids to be active in the after school hours, and at the same time help kids develop as community members and healthy, successful individuals. ​
Northern Manhattan is one of the lowest income areas of New York City and an area with a significant immigrant population: the need for an accessible, no-cost program where kids can simply come and play, is great.

Our programs

Uptown Soccer runs outdoor training programs in the fall and spring, a winter indoor program , and a summer camp. Approximately 300 boys and girls participate in our programs throughout the year. The program has given kids - many of whom come from countries where "soccer is life" - a place to play the game they love. 

  Support

Uptown Soccer is supported by foundations and government grants as well as individual donors and businesses, and is in great need of support to run its programs. Please consideration a donation to Uptown Soccer today.
