2020 Mentoring Program

Closed! SUSA Cares is now accepting applications for the 2020 Summer Player Mentoring Program.  Each year we encourage giving back to the community through our shared love of soccer.  Mentoring is the perfect way to show your community service participation in applications.

The SUSA Cares mentoring programs are for academy players with birth years 2002 - 2006.  The programs are explained below:

• Team-Based Mentoring - This program will work with our Bright Futures and Pre-Academy teams.  The commitment level would require one practice per week throughout the complete Spring or Summer season.
• SUSA Camp Mentoring - This program will work with players at various camp events over the summer and is a full week-long commitment.

If you are interested in participating in the above community service events, please register no later than February 28th. Space is limited.

SUSA G10 Elite White and G07 Elite White raised $2,840 for Make A Wish Foundation!

Make A Wish Foundation granted a wish for a child name Patrick. Patrick is from Smithtown and his wish is scheduled to be granted this July. Thank you for all the support!

SUSA CARES is an important part of the SUSA Soccer Academy belief system.  We, as an organization, have been very active over the years developing and participating in many worthwhile community and worldwide causes. We strongly believe that our athletes, families and coaching staff, no matter how small the gesture, can make a difference.

For over 17 years, SUSA’S President Moussa Sy has been collecting clothing, toys and athletic gear for needing people in Africa.  This has been possible due to the generosity of patrons of SUSA’s facilities and team-based collections.  Please look for donations boxes at all SUSA facilities!

SUSA started “Cookie Baking for the Troops” in 2005 to provide fresh baked goods and care packages organized by our players and staff.  SUSA thanks and supports all our military personnel and their families for the sacrifices they make for our freedom.

Respect and empathy are a very big part of SUSA’S philosophy.  We show respect in all our endeavors.  Whether its spending time with the elderly, assisting in the welfare of animals or mentoring younger athletes; everything matters!   We encourage our athletes to engage in many of the extracurricular team bonding activities SUSA CARES continues to do:

• Wash kits for the homeless.
• Peanut butter and jelly clubs.
• Cans for Cats fundraiser.
• Adopt a family for the holidays.
• Mentoring young athletes.
• Senior citizen activity day.
• Kicks for Cancer events.
• Community beautification projects.

Our SUSA family is growing allowing an amazing opportunity to help even more. We are always open to any assistance or ideas that will help us reach the goal of helping whenever and wherever we can. SUSA CARES embodies an empathetic attitude within our athletes by fostering a giving nature by setting positive examples.

Please visit our SUSA CARES web page regularly for upcoming events and to see what our athletes are up to!
