About Us

Eleftheria Pancyprian Soccer Club (EPSC), established in 1981, offers youth soccer programs that serve New York City's diverse community. Our mission is to provide a safe, supportive, and growth-focused environment for young players, helping them reach high school, college, and ultimately our men’s program.

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, EPSC is dedicated to creating opportunities for all players. We offer teams and programs for boys and girls of all skill levels, following a structured development pathway. With a committed staff and coaches, our club builds players’ confidence, skills, and character.

At EPSC, every player is valued. Each time they step onto the field, they aim for their personal best, advancing in technical skills, tactical understanding, athletic ability, and mental resilience.

Our Soccer Philosophy

At Eleftheria Youth, our philosophy is to play assertive, possession-focused soccer. We aim to control the game, creating goal-scoring opportunities through “numbers up” plays and encouraging our players to make smart, confident decisions on and off the ball. Our coaches instill patience in our players, teaching them to maintain possession during attacks.

When out of possession, we emphasize an aggressive approach to winning the ball back quickly, both in transition and in general play. In the final third, Eleftheria players are empowered to express themselves, making instinctive choices on how to score. We’re dedicated to developing skilled individuals who understand the value of teamwork—winning together as one unified club.
