Youth Soccer Coach

The Chelsea Piers Soccer program emphasizes individual skill development and teamwork. Children ages 2-16 learn through expert instruction from caring and talented staff. We rely on our youth development classes to develop the core of our Chelsea Piers Soccer Club (CPSC). This core, coupled with the addition of talented recruits from across the city, allows us to create a close-knit community that showcases the depth of New Yorks growing soccer culture. With two large indoor turf fields, children can play all year round. Our Little Athletes classes for 2-5-year olds focus on the fundamentals of the sport, while our developmental youth classes for 5-14-year olds concentrate on more advanced skills, development, and tactical awareness.

Classes are held at the Chelsea Piers Field House, located at Pier 62, 23rd Street and Hudson River Park.
