The NY Red Bulls “Club Alliance” program is designed with the following goals in mind:

• Create youth soccer alliances that provide enhanced opportunities for player development.
• To help organizations raise their profile and have a professionally structured development program.
• Foster the development of local youth soccer players at the U9 - U-12 level
• Identify potential prospects for the NY Red Bulls Academy Teams.
• Build a unique, regional marketing platform for both parties

Vision Statement 

• Create exclusive youth soccer alliances that provide enhanced opportunities for player development and identification.

Mission Statement

• To foster the development of local youth soccer players at the U9 - U-12 level and identify potential prospects for the NY Red Bulls Academy Teams.

How It Works

• The NY Red Bulls will partner with various youth soccer clubs and provide a full-menu of benefits, including NY Red Bulls uniforms, professional training, game tickets and the opportunity to become a Regional Development School location.
• Club Alliance partners will be carefully selected and must meet a number of requirements such as, facilities, location, reputation, training structure, coach education programs and ability to expose players to the professional game.
• One primary requirement will be for each Club Alliance partner to enter one U12 boys’ team into competition under the NY Red Bulls name and in NY Red Bulls uniforms in fall 2006. The program will then expand to include 3 further teams between the ages of U9 and U12 boys’ teams in fall 2006 and spring and fall 2007.
• Club Alliances will be established in strategic geographic locations throughout the Tri-State area. Our goal is to have 12 Club Alliances, thus blanketing the entire region.
• It must be clearly stated that the NY Red Bulls are simply looking to partner with clubs and teams to provide these benefits. The NY Red Bulls are not seeking control of clubs, teams and/or players. The clubs and teams will continue to manage their operations and have continued participation in their current leagues.
• The NY Red Bulls affiliated club must respect all the soccer clubs that are located in their proximities regarding transfer of players, coaches’ behavior and parent’s behavior.
