What is the Suffern FC Foundations Program?

The Suffern FC Foundations Program serves families in Suffern, Sloatsburg, Hillburn, and surrounding areas of Rockland County, NY, Orange County, NY, Bergen County, NJ. All training sessions are held locally at Sloatsburg Community Fields, providing a convenient, community-based soccer option for young players and families.

The Suffern FC Foundations Program is designed for players born in 2018 and 2019 (U7–U8) — the age when young athletes are ready to move beyond basic recreation and into a more intentional, development-focused environment.

 

Why start at U8–U9?

  • More touches. More decisions. More confidence.
    With fewer players on the field, every child is constantly involved – attacking, defending, and learning in real time.

    Small teams = big development.
    4v4 naturally teaches spacing, movement, passing, and teamwork without overwhelming young players with positions or complex tactics.

    A fun, fast-paced environment.
    Games are short, energetic, and engaging, keeping players focused while building stamina, creativity, and love for the game.

    A bridge beyond recreation.
    Foundations introduces structure and coaching in a positive, player-centered way, helping children build confidence while preparing them for future competitive pathways — without pressure or burnout.

In the Foundations Program, players will:

  • Build strong technical skills — dribbling, turning, ball control, and finishing

  • Improve speed, agility, and decision-making through small-sided games

  • Develop confidence, creativity, and composure in a supportive environment

 The Suffern FC Foundations Program provides young players with a strong foundation, combining fun, structure, and development to set the stage for long-term growth in soccer.

Have questions before registering? We’ve got you covered.

No. Families may register directly through the website.
All registrations are reviewed by our coaching staff to ensure appropriate placement and a positive experience for every player.

Foundations is designed for U7–U8 players (2018–2019) who enjoy soccer and are ready for a more structured training environment beyond recreation.
If you’re unsure, our coaching staff is happy to help guide you.

This depends on your child’s festival schedule:

  • Boys:
    Boys participate in 4v4 festivals on Sundays and may also play in the Saturday Spring Recreation program.

  • Girls:
    Girls participate in 4v4 festivals on Saturdays, which conflicts with the Spring Recreation schedule.
    Families should plan to participate in either Foundations or Recreation for the spring season.

Our coaches are happy to help families choose the best option.

That’s okay. We understand families have other commitments.
Players are encouraged to attend festivals when possible, but perfect attendance is not required.

  • One Wednesday evening training session

  • One weekend 4v4 festival (Saturday for girls, Sunday for boys)

This balance is intentional and age-appropriate.

  • 10 professional training sessions (75 minutes each)

  • Weekly 4v4 festival game play

  • Licensed coaching with Director of Coaching oversight

  • Small roster sizes (8–12 players)

  • One Suffern FC Foundations training shirt

Players should wear:

  • Suffern FC training shirt

  • Athletic shorts

  • Shin guards

  • Soccer cleats or turf shoes

  • Soccer socks

If our coaching staff determines that Foundations is not the right fit for a player prior to the first session, families will be offered a full refund.

Foundations is not travel soccer.
It focuses on development, confidence, and learning the game in a low-pressure environment — without tryouts, standings, or long-term commitments.

Families may contact us directly through the website or email, and a member of our coaching staff will respond. We can be reached at info.suffernfc@gmail.com
