Welcome

Welcome to the Adirondack Lynx Women's soccer team and our web site! How exciting that upstate New York has been given the chance to field a WPSL team! The WPSL - Women's Premier Soccer League - is the highest level of competitive women's soccer played in the USA.

With all of the men’s semi-pro & pro sports teams that have graced our upstate region over the years, it is with immense pride that I can *finally* offer females the same sporting opportunity right in their own backyards. I say the "same opportunity" loosely here, because our region has never actually been home to a men's sports team that is composed of players already at the National or Olympic level -- but that's just what the WPSL is. It is a League of female athletes playing at the top of their game. The WPSL is a major pipeline to both the US Women's National Soccer Team and the US Olympic Soccer Team.

It is my hope that you, the Upstate NY soccer community, can embrace and support this team because of the true opportunities it will give to local girl's soccer. My vision is elevate the level of girl's and women's soccer in our region by providing them with the chance to watch & play at the highest level right here, right now.

You can call me an idealist or just plain crazy, but isn't it about time females in our neck of the woods had the same sports opportunities as the guys?
