Community First
Community First
Wappinger United is more than a soccer club. We are a network of families, coaches, volunteers, and players working together to create meaningful experiences for children throughout our area.
We are proud of the relationships built through our club and the culture of support, inclusion, and belonging that continues to define Wappinger United.
Our success is measured not only by player development and team accomplishments, but by the strength of the community we continue to build together.
A Pathway for Every Player
A Pathway for Every Player
Wappinger United offers programs designed to support players at all stages of development and commitment levels.
Our programming includes:
- Youth Academy introducing our youngest players to the game
- Intertown/LDT Soccer
- Travel Soccer
- Premier and National League teams
- TOPS Inclusive Soccer Program for children with special needs
- Camps and Clinics
We understand that every player’s journey is different.
Some players are discovering the game for the first time. Others are seeking higher levels of competition and challenge. Our goal is to provide opportunities that allow every player to continue growing within a positive club environment.
