ABOUT US
ELEFTHERIA PANCYPRIAN SOCCER CLUB
Established in 1981 in Astoria, Queens, Eleftheria Pancyprian Soccer Club has been built on community, tradition, and a commitment to developing players the right way.
Rooted in the Greek and Cypriot communities of New York, EPSC has grown into a club that connects generations through soccer. Our foundation is built on discipline, hard work, accountability, and pride—values that extend far beyond the field.
Today, EPSC offers a complete player pathway, from Micro and Intramural programs to competitive Travel and Select teams, giving players the opportunity to develop at every stage of their soccer journey.
We believe winning is important, but development, character, and long-term growth come first. Through structured training, experienced coaching, and high standards, we prepare players for their next level—whether that means high school, college, advanced competition, or simply becoming a better player and person.
More than four decades later, we remain committed to our roots while continuing to create real opportunities for the next generation of players.
Established in 1981. Built to develop. Built to last.
OUR SOCCER PHILOSOPHY
DEVELOP THE PLAYER. DEVELOP THE GAME.
At Eleftheria Youth, we believe players develop best when they are encouraged to think, compete, and express themselves.
Our teams play an assertive, possession-focused style of soccer, emphasizing intelligent movement, quick combinations, and creating opportunities through numbers-up situations. Players are taught to be patient in possession, recognize space, and make confident decisions with and without the ball.
When we lose the ball, our goal is to win it back quickly. We emphasize aggressive defending, immediate transitions, and collective pressure throughout the game.
In the final third, players are given the freedom to express themselves—to take risks, trust their instincts, and make decisions that create scoring opportunities.
Above all, we develop skilled individuals who understand how to play together. We want players who can think for themselves, compete for each other, and understand that the strongest teams are built when everyone works toward the same goal.
Develop individuals. Build confident players. Play together. Win together.
