Congratulations to the Patriots 98 team and coach Jeff Fleischmann for their great showing in the 2009 ENYYSA U-11 State Cup Final!

  Although you lost a hard fought well played game, the Club is very proud of all your accomplishments. You represented Patriots FC in great tradition with an excellent team effort while showing true sportsmanship. It is always extremely difficult winning a state cup final game due pressure and expectations, and although the team was well prepared mentally and physically, there is always a certain amount of luck which is part of the winning ingredient. Unfortunately,  that bit of luck went to our opponents. I believe that this ‘98 team will again sometime soon have another chance at that coveted state title and please be certain that this one loss does not diminish this season’s accomplishments. So 98’s hold your heads high and be proud of the standard you set for yourselves today and the future! 

The Patriots Football Club was founded in 1996 by Don Cupertino as a premier division of the Eastchester Youth Soccer Association. In its infancy Patriots FC had only one team with 17 children. Today, the Club has grown substantially, fielding 13 teams with over 200 players from Westchester and surrounding counties.

The Club has had many outstanding achievements over the years in state, regional and national competition, as well as great success at prestigious tournaments such as WAGS, Orange Classic, Disney Showcase, Jefferson Cup and Score at the Shore.

While the Patriots have enjoyed its relationship with EYSA our vision requires us to seek a move to a more regionally diverse membership. As part of the natural progression of seeking a higher level of play Patriots FC is completing a transformation in becoming exclusively a premier soccer club known as Patriots FC.
