Forest Hills Youth Athletic Association — Local services in New York

I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing Forest Hills Youth Athletic Association from multiple perspectives over the years—first as a player over 28 years ago, and now as a coach for my daughter's soccer team. This league is the epitome of what a community sports program should be. Forest Hills emphasizes sportsmanship, personal growth, skill development, and—most importantly—fun! It's not just about winning; it's about building confidence, character, and lifelong memories.

The leadership and volunteers are passionate and dedicated, creating an inclusive environment where every child, regardless of skill level, has a place. My daughter and her teammates have thrived here, and it’s been so rewarding to watch their progress season after season. I couldn’t ask for a better place for my child to experience the joy of sports.

If you're looking for a league that truly cares about the kids, fosters a sense of community, and keeps the spirit of the game alive, Forest Hills Youth Athletic Association is it....
