This morning, Coach Pierre Levy who coaches one of the U12G teams, won GWYSL’s Spring 2026 Coach of the Season award. 🏆

His team said that he’s always encouraging, motivating, fun, and focused on teamwork. The players especially loved all the energy he brought every week. 🎉⚽️

That combination of teaching, positivity, and fun is exactly what youth soccer should be about.

Thank you Coach Pierre for the time, care, and enthusiasm you brought to your team this season. You made a real impact on these girls, and we’re incredibly grateful for everything you’ve done for GWYSL.

Through our partnership with NYCFC, our kids and their families were able to enjoy this Sunday’s game on Mother’s Day, including participating as Home Player Mascots at the beginning of the game and Post-Game Shots on the Goal at Yankee Stadium. (Goalie Matt Freese wasn’t blocking shots so we all made it in.) We love our volunteers, and we’re so grateful to NYCFC for these memory-making experiences! ⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️

Saturday, November 1 — Silent Saturday

Silent Saturday is an AYSO player-development initiative designed to let kids lead, build confidence, and maximize fun—much like the way they play together informally after school. The goals are to (1) keep the focus on player enjoyment, (2) encourage athletes to trust their skills and instincts, (3) develop on-field leadership and teamwork, and (4) model an alternative to constant sideline direction.

What this means for each of us:

Spectators: Please refrain from verbal comments to players, referees, or coaches. Clapping is encouraged!

Coaches: No in-play instruction (verbal or non-verbal). Coach as usual before kickoff, at subs, and at halftime. Encourage players to communicate with one another.

Referees: Limit vocalizations, use hand signals, and whistle only to start/stop play. Let the game flow.

Players: Play as you normally would, and communicate with your teammates on the field.
