Thanks to all who donated for our Fall 2023 Turkey Drive!
In conjunction with all of the teams at VOB and an additional contribution from the club, we donated $2,500 from VOB Soccer Club to the St. Patrick's Food Bank to support local families for Thanksgiving.
Additionally, teams at VOB raised $2,000 in connection with our Breast Cancer Awareness Month fundraiser that we donated to the Carol M. Baldwin Breast Care Center at Stony Brook Hospital.
Thank you to all for your continued support of our club and our community! We should all be proud of what we've accomplished together.

CLINIC & INTRAMURAL PROGRAMS INFO
CLINIC (Birth Years 2018-2020)
The Clinic program at V.O.B. Soccer is for young players who are interested in trying soccer. The program is designed to introduce young children from the ages of 3 to 6 to the game. The children are not expected to have any skills in soccer, only a desire to have fun playing the game. They play on a small team against other V.O.B. teams at the same age level (coed). The teams meet on Sunday afternoons (some Saturday exceptions) for a half hour practice led by our trainers from Strive Athletics, which is followed by a half hour game. The size of field and goals varies which each age group. The focus of the program is to have all of the children have as many “touches” with a soccer ball as possible, getting them comfortable playing the game. No scores are kept and all of the children are given equal time to play in the game. At the end of the season all of the children are rewarded with a trophy for their efforts.
Unless otherwise stated all clinic sessions run Sundays from 12:00 -1:00 pm and/or 12:30- 1:30 pm at the Patrick Kinane Memorial Soccer Fields (behind St. Patrick' RC Church/School).
INTRAMURAL (2016 and 2017)
The VOB soccer club offers a competitive, in-house Intramural program designed to help young soccer players continue their development and make the transition from our clinic program. Games are (4) four 12 minute quarters, with a continuous clock. Games are held at the Patrick Kinane Memorial Soccer Fields (behind St. Patrick' RC Church/School) and game times are on Sundays at either 2:00pm or 3:15pm (unless otherwise stated). Additionally, Intramural teams play crossover games with St. Joseph's in Kings Park as well as Elwood Soccer Club. Games may also take place at their respective fields.
