Paul
Today we received news that Gary Ablett had passed away from non hodgkins lymphoma.
Its a sad day for the PRSS and the world losing a great man, fantastic footballer and a brilliant father.
Gary Ablett worked in New York with Albertson SC and the PRSS for two years 2000-2002. He worked with many Albertson boys teams and made a lot of friends during his stay. He also played for LI Rough Riders in the twilight of his career after playing for Liverpool. Everton and Birmingham in the English Premiership.
Paul and Gary were best friends as kids and spent millions of hours together kicking a ball around.
Our love, prayers and condolences go out to his wife Jacky and children Reece, Rylee, Scarlet.
Rest in peace "Gazza"...gonna miss you"

Albertson Outreach
On May 12, 2011, five members of Albertson Soccer Club's U15/16 Development Academy team, accompanied by Albertson's technical director, Adrian Gaitan, visited over 40 grade school children in 
Manhasset, New York at a growing ministry called Hoops on the Hill. The program was started five years ago by local Manhasset resident Steve Leondis as a community outreach program to enhance and build athletic skills for "at risk" boys and girls. Subsequently, Hoops on the Hill has blossomed into a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that now includes self-esteem workshops, spiritual development, academic support, a meals program and so much more. The boys spent the afternoon assisting dozens of boys and girls with homework assignments and serving meals to over 50 adults and children. But clearly the highlight of the day was when Gaitan and the boys took the children outside to play soccer.
Paul Riley, Albertson's Director of Coaching, remarked: "It is a privilege for our young players to give back to the community and we sincerely believe that the life lessons these young men face through every facet of playing for the Albertson Academy will last a lifetime. All the boys sacrifice a lot to play at the highest level and to be able to affect others less fortunate is worth its weight in gold." Riley added that Gaitan, U16 Coach Chris Armas (a former professional soccer player and U.S. National Team member), and the entire Albertson U.S. Soccer Development Academy staff "frequently talk about the need to do the important 'little things' and this kind of day brings a smile to everybody's face. We look forward to further developing and helping Steve Leondis in his vision to bring hope and memories to communities who need help the most."
The day was filled with laughter, smiles and a desire to encourage so many children to work hard and make the right choices. At one point, the children listened intently to Gaitan touch on how hard work and sacrifice allowed him to play for American University and the U.S. National team. He told the students: "Kids, there are no short cuts in life. You have been blessed with talents and gifts and it is only with hard work and dedication that you can fulfill your dreams and hopes."
The children had such a great time with the five players (Jim Meyers, Jake Freeman, Alex Leondis, Hector Lasso and Jordan Gross) that discussions are now under way between Chris Armas and Steve Leondis to establish a weekly after school soccer program starting in October as a collaboration between Hoops on the Hill and Albertson Academy. Armas commented: "I see no reason why we cannot partner together to bring the love and passion of soccer to the children of this community. The children and our players will both immensely benefit."
FURY NEWS
August 8, 2010-The Long Island Fury is very pleased to announce that three players from the 8-3-1 Central Division champions—defender Alyssa Pember from Northport, midfielder Lorraine Quinn from Farmingdale and goalkeeper Brittany Anghel from East Meadow--were selected by the Women’s Premier Soccer League to the All-WPSL Team.
Pember was honored as All-WPSL First Team, Quinn was selected All-WPSL Second Team and Anghel, a recent high school graduate, made All-WPSL Third Team.
Pember is an original Long Island Fury player and won the national title with the team in both 2006 and 2009. She has brought the Fury defense a level of consistency, especially since seven players graduated from college and moved on to Women’s Professional Soccer, as she will be doing in two years. Pember has been a major reason why the Fury defense has had incredible streaks of 555, 642 and 737 minutes without conceding a goal since 2006.
“Alyssa Pember is the catalyst of the Long Island Fury. She is considered the ideal player which you would start a team with and build a team around,” commented Fury head coach Michael Demakis. “Alyssa is the captain and leader of the Fury. An extremely high soccer IQ with unbelievable speed, tactical and technical ability. The cornerstone of the defense and of the Fury, Alyssa will grace us for one more year before she takes her talent and ability to WPS.”
Quinn is another original Fury player as well but she did not play in 2009 and returned to the team this year as the leading scorer from her midfield position with three goals and one assist.
“Lorraine Quinn is one of the most exciting, skillful and talented players I have ever had the pleasure to train and coach. When you talk about a player that has the ‘wow’ factor, then you are talking about Lorraine,” Coach Demakis stated. “Her foot skills and quickness on the ball will buckle any defender’s knees. She is considered a player who is worth the price of admission, just to watch her go to work on the field in a game. You never look away during a game when Lorraine has the ball because you are going to miss something special.”
Anghel had the unenviable task of filling the big shoes of Jillian Mastroianni in goal this year as she served as her back-up when the Fury won the national championship in 2009. She gave up goals to only two teams all season—the Lancaster Inferno and Boston Aztec—and never surrendered more than one goal in 90 minutes of play. Her 42 saves in 705 minutes of play was good for a 0.51 goals against average.
“Brittany Anghel has become one of the most dominating goalkeepers in the country. She is a beast in the net. Able to cover post to post--ground to crossbar, it is very difficult to get anything past Brittany,” commented her coach. “Excellent hands and very dangerous with her distribution makes Brittany a counterattacking nightmare for opposing defenses. She is a keeper you hate to see in the opposition’s goal because you know it will be a long day trying to get anything by her.”
Coach Demakis concluded by commenting, "We are so excited and proud that we had three of our Fury players making the All-WPSL Team this year. We couldn't be more happier for Alyssa, Lorraine and Brittany. Each of them showed the commitment, dedication and desire one needs to achieve these accolades. All three players have earned this through their relentless training, play on the field and leadership qualities they bring. We look forward to having them back next year so we can hopefully bring the WPSL national championship back to the Long Island Fury."
Founded in 2006 as a Women's Premier Soccer League franchise, the Long Island Fury won the WPSL national championship in both 2006 and 2009. Seven Long Island Fury alumnae--Gina and Tina DiMartino, Kelly Henderson, Ali Long, Rebecca Moros, Alex Singer and Sue Weber--used their phenomenal play for the Fury to become professional players in Women's Professional Soccer. Their former coach, Paul Riley, now coaches the Philadelphia Independence franchise in that same league.

INDEPENDENCE’S PAUL RILEY NAMED WPS COACH OF THE YEAR
(http://www.womensprosoccer.com/Home/philadelphia/news/general/100916-wps-coach-of-the-year.aspx)
September 15, 2010 (West Chester, PA) -- Philadelphia Head Coach Paul Riley has earned WPS Coach of the Year honors after leading the expansion Independence into the WPS playoffs in the team’s inaugural season and a third-place regular season finish. The WPS Coach of the Year award, selected by a combination of fan, player/coach, and media voting, recognizes the WPS head coach responsible for constructing a team that performs to exceptional levels and demonstrates an attractive and engaging style of play during the regular season.
Riley coached the Independence to a record of 10-10-4 in its first year as a franchise, quickly turning the expansion team into one of the most dangerous squads in the league. The team ended the regular season 2nd in WPS scoring with 37 goals. “We are excited to be part of the playoffs in our first season. And regardless of how the playoff race ends, Paul Riley has already accomplished an incredible amount as head coach of an expansion franchise” said Independence General Manager, Louise Waxler.
“Paul has created a training environment and team culture that challenges his players to be the best, nurtures their ability, and brings them together with a common vision for success. His willingness to put in the extra time, his understanding and passion for the game, and his commitment to his players is truly unparalleled. There is no one more deserving of WPS Coach of the Year than Paul Riley, and we are so grateful for everything he has done for the Independence this season.”
Riley, who was also named one of two WPS All Star coaches for 2010, led the Independence to a third-place finish this year in regular season standings, earning the right to host the First Round of WPS Playoffs and bringing the WPS Championship race to home turf. Only two expansion teams in the history of professional sports have managed to capture a championship in their inaugural season of play and with a run through the playoffs, the Independence has the chance to become just the third expansion team in pro sports history to capture a championship as a first-year franchise in an existing league.
“There are few coaches who have achieved the level of success that Paul has this season” said Waxler. “He certainly deserves the Coach of the Year honor in our book, and we’re thrilled that he is being recognized for his accomplishments.”
The Philadelphia Independence will look to continue this season's success in the First Round of WPS Playoffs this Sunday, September 19 at Farrell Stadium in West Chester, PA. The Independence will host the Washington Freedom at 2:30pm in the race for the WPS Championship, and you can get your tickets now at www.independencetix.com!

Elite Clubs National League expands for 2010-11 with addition of 12 clubs
[ECNL Web site]
MILWAUKEE, Wis. (March 3, 2010) From nearly 60 clubs that applied for membership, the ECNL Board of Directors recommended 12 new clubs for membership in the Elite Clubs National League (ECNL). The ECNL member clubs approved these recommendations, increasing the number of member clubs to 52 for the 2010-11 season.
The clubs granted membership for the 2010-11 season are:
Carmel United (Ind.) |
San Diego Surf (Calif.) |
This is the first year of expansion of the ECNL. Expansion of the ECNL is a two-year process that will carefully and gradually establish the membership necessary to create regional and national competition in a 25- to 30-game schedule. Significant additional expansion is expected for the 2011-12 season.
There were many very good clubs that applied for membership that were not accepted this year, said ECNL President Christian Lavers. Several of these clubs will almost certainly be a part of the ECNL in the near future, and many more may be a part of the long-term future of the ECNL. Likewise, we expect that other new clubs will emerge in the coming years that will continue to raise the level of the league.
The new clubs are extremely excited for the 2010-11 ECNL season:
The Michigan Hawks Soccer Club is thrilled to be among the clubs invited to join this league and is looking forward to the challenge of competing against the nation's best. The Michigan Hawks Soccer Club has a proven record of developing elite female soccer players. The ECNL will provide our players with a national stage to showcase their ability and prepare them to transition seamlessly into the college ranks
--Brian Doyle, Michigan Hawks Soccer Club Director of Coaching
The primary reason in joining the ECNL is the quality of the events and the clubs that are in the ECNL. We are really excited for our teams to play in the ECNL-scheduled events and have our teams compete against the best teams in the country. I always believed to be the best you have to play the best.
--Walid Khoury, Slammers FC Director of Coaching
Acceptance decisions based on the overall performance level of the clubs, as was determined by the following factors: 1) long-term club history in female soccer, 2) long-term history in development of female soccer players, 3) club leadership and management structure and 4) geographical considerations.
We are all very excited about the new member clubs that will join us next year, said ECNL Vice President Doug Bracken. We look forward to continuing to make the ECNL the best league for elite youth girls that this country has to offer. It is certain that these new member clubs will only enhance the overall experience for all of our players, and that they will help the ECNL to continue leading change, growth and development in female youth soccer.
An announcement relating to the 2010-11 ECNL regular-season events will be made in late March.
