Albany, NY May 11,  2010  - The Albany Alleycats and  the Adirondack Lynx Elite Female Soccer Academy  are  pleased  to  announce a partnership with the  two  organizations.  The Adirondack Lynx  have become part of  the Alley cat organization.  In doing so, the coaching/administrative staff of the Adirondack Lynx will take over the training/administration of the U16-U17-U18 Alleycats Soccer teams.  The Alleycats will sponsor the addition of a U20 team to their club for this summer with the ultimate goal of supporting the return of Adirondack Lynx WPSL team in 2011.  This would create the only girls side in the area with teams playing at every age group from U8 to the amateur level.

The past four years the Adirondack Lynx Elite Female Soccer Academy,  founded  by  PJ Motsiff in 2004,  has provided both adult and youth programs of all ages. The WPSL team has provided Olympic, National team, youth national team, and top division I, II, III  female soccer players a home during the summer months. This environment has allowed players to return to their collegiate teams much more prepared and successful. 
The Alleycats are one of the most successful soccer clubs in NY state, offering a wide variety of soccer programs for children and adults of all ages and skill levels. The partnership was formed to combine resources and to provide better opportunities for the female players in the Albany, NY area.  The result of the merger should assist with…
1. Player development
2. Coaching education
3. Facilities and resources
4. Performance at regional and national levels
5. To create an integrated program from the junior levels to amateur teams..

The recreational opportunities will increase with professional coaches teaching and training within those programs to enhance player development.  
Combining  resources with the Alleycats will allow us  to provide  the community we serve with the absolute best youth soccer training and development program in the area,'' said PJ Motsiff, General Manager/Owner of the Adirondack Lynx. "Our  collective  goal  is  to  provide opportunities  for  all  players  at  all  levels, offering the children of our community a safe, fun and exciting place to learn and play soccer with unparalleled programs."

In today's world, those that will excel and prosper are those with the vision to "pool" their resources for the purpose of benefiting the kids, the game of soccer , as well as the community...” Skip Dawsons, Director of Alleycats Premier Soccer Club

Skip Dawson, Director of the Alley Cats Premier Soccer Club commented,  “In today’s soccer world, those that will excel and prosper are those with the vision to “pool” their resources for the purpose  of  benefiting  the  kids,  the  game  of  soccer,  as  well  as  the  community.  With  a  single minded goal and focus to maximize the quality of their soccer experience and development, I am quite excited about the opportunity and very much look forward to supporting that mission under the Alleycats banner for many years to come.”
