The Hudson Valley Youth Soccer League (formerly East Hudson Youth Soccer League) was established in 1976 with only four member clubs and fewer than 300 players. Today, HVYSL has more than 40 participating clubs and 15,000 players, making it the second largest league in New York State.
Come join the thousands of visitors to our beautiful Hudson River Valley, and experience great soccer, great people, and great fun!
