Celebrating Armenian culture and community pride in every practice, game, and gathering

Our Roots in the Armenian Community

This program is a celebration of our shared heritage in the New York metropolitan area. For generations, the Armenian community has valued education, hard work, and giving back—and we bring those same principles to the soccer field.

Homenetmen New York Youth Soccer Program is more than just a place for children to learn the game. It's a place for our youth to connect with their heritage, build friendships with other Armenian families, and develop a sense of pride in who they are. We create an environment where Armenian culture is woven into the fabric of everything we do.

Parents don't just drop their kids off—they stay, they connect, they build community. Our families form lasting bonds that extend well beyond the soccer season. This is where lifelong friendships begin.

Beyond the Field: Our Community Events

Throughout the year, we host events that bring our community together to celebrate, connect, and create lasting memories.

We start each season with a community BBQ where families meet coaches, reunite with friends, and welcome new members. Traditional Armenian food, music, and plenty of soccer create the perfect atmosphere.

An annual celebration of Armenian culture featuring traditional music, dance performances, cultural activities for kids, and of course, a friendly soccer tournament.

End-of-Season Celebration

We close each season with an awards ceremony, team recognitions, and a family celebration that honors every player's growth and effort throughout the year.

Community Service Projects

Our families participate in community service initiatives that reflect Armenian values of giving back, teaching our children the importance of helping others.

"This isn't just where my son plays soccer—it's where our family found our community. The friendships, the traditions, the pride in our heritage... it's irreplaceable."
