06 United Football Club (the “Club”) was established in June 2006 by a group of passionate players in Queens, New York. The initial objective of the Club was to gather more players for regular practices and organize ourselves as a well recognized team and participate in soccer tournaments across NY and NJ. In 2014, the Club began to recognize the lack of affordable soccer training opportunities for children, in particular for low income families in the metropolitan area. The key members of the Club strategically decided to establish a youth training academy (volunteer-based) and registered as a U.S. 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. To date, the Club has appropriately 400+ members, including coaches and volunteers, and had since acquired multiple community partnerships to support our adults and youth units. We also proudly became an official Youth Partner of the NYC Football Club in 2019, and had received exclusive benefits to reward volunteers, fundraise, and educate our players & coaches. The NYC Football Club has provided the Club access to on-field experiences, chalk talks, and the chance to see our club name in lights at Yankee Stadium.

The goal of the Youth Academy is to provide proper, affordable, and safe soccer training in a diverse and inclusive setting to all children whom are interested. Initially, the trainings were held on weekends only and in the warmer seasons at parks in Queens, Brooklyn, Manhattan and Staten Island. All of our trainings are situated around neighborhoods, where most low income families reside with easy transportation access. In 2016, the Club started an advanced training program in the winter season for youth members whom would like to continue their practices throughout the cold months. By popular demand, the Club started a summer camp program in 2019 and provided more training opportunities on weekdays during the off-school months.

What’s the point of training without showcasing our talented players in completions? The Club is committed to participate in various soccer competitions across NYC and had hosted multiple events of its own. Our first official event, the annual internal tournament for adult players, began with only 20 players in 2013 to now over 50 players in 2019. In 2015, the Club hosted the first internal soccer tournament for our youth members and has continued the tradition annually. The youth tournament was structured to set up teams across our Brooklyn and Queens Academies and enabled the children to meet, compete, and learn among each other. In 2016, the Club proudly hosted an event called the “06 United 10 year Anniversary Charitable Soccer Tournament” and invited 16 soccer teams (youth and adults) across the city to participate. In 2018, the Club hosted our first “Machine Cup” and “Machine Youth Cup” tournaments. Overall, all the events hosted thus far were supported positively by the NYC soccer community and considered greatly successful in terms of participation and feedback received.
