The idea of youth soccer in our area first came from the Varsity Soccer Coach at Sachem High School, Frank Schmidt. Frank, together with Athletic Director Tom Sabatelle, Community Administrator Skip Fielden and several other officials of the Sachem School District, realized that to be competitive at the high school level youngsters had to start playing when they were six or seven years old. Sachem, unfortunately, was at a disadvantage due to the lack of a youth program in the community.
