In-house competition

Westbury Soccer U9 players (pictured) enjoy an in-house game day at Bayland Park. In response to the pandemic, Westbury Soccer altered its usual format and created an intra-club league for the fall season. Teams practiced twice each week and participated in a game day every other week. The teams played 3v3 and 6v6 games, and also participated in skills challenges. For the spring 2021 season, Westbury looks forward to getting back to the usual developmental program for younger players and competitive league for older players. The U9 game-day players are (top row, from left) Alek Morency, Finn Koenig, Landry Patterson, Judah Umbriaco, Jonah Silva, and coach Yudith Morales; (bottom row, from left) Grant Bowyer, Dominic Floyd, Alex Robertson, and Tyler Levin.
