The secondary stage of our philosophy focuses on developing players for elite soccer, specifically our Soccer Stars United competitive travel teams. Our innovative cultivating approach to coaching helps players in our program play with confidence, creativity, and flair.
OUR STORY
IT STARTED WITH THE PASSION TO TEACH THE WORLD’S MOST POPULAR SPORT
2000
In 2000 Gustavo Szulansky, Argentina native and father-of-three founded Super Soccer Stars. He was determined to build the best children’s soccer program in New York. Today Super Soccer Stars is the largest children’s soccer development program in the United States for kids aged 2 and up.
2007
In 2007, after having a group of students reach a level of soccer maturity, Super Soccer Stars launched Stars Premier (now Soccer Stars United), an advanced player development program. We pooled the most talented players and built on their passion for the sport. The combination of high-level practices and local soccer competitions helped accelerate the communication, game insight, technique and fitness skills of the soccer player development journey.
2009
In 2009, with the identity of Stars Premier truly embedded in the fabric of the New York City soccer community, we launched the Stars Premier Teams initiative. We added a new dimension to our player development program using our wide pool of talent to form team rosters that will optimize the player development journey. The careful selection of players for each team roster created the ideal learning environment for each playing level.
2015
2018 & 2019
With over 50 travel teams across NY, CA, FL, and MA, Soccer Stars United firmly established its national identity. The Club receives national attention as our U14 Galaxy team from NY wins the Club’s 1st National Championship in Aurora, CO with a team comprised of former Super Soccer Stars graduates. The team returned to Kansas City in 2019 with an appearance at the USYS National Championship.
