The
Headwaters Soccer Club, a non-profit organization, was formed
to educate and develop our area’s youth by offering
numerous soccer camps, clinics, and adult leagues.
The Board of Trustees consists of area coaches, former
coaches and athletic directors, all with extensive experience
and backgrounds in soccer. David Ranieri, in
addition to his long and distinguished career as a player,
has accumulated a wealth of experience as a creator of
marketing and administrator of soccer programs for over
thirty years.
Since the inception of Headwaters in December 1989, the Club
has instituted soccer camps at Worcester Central School, Otego
Elementary School, Edmeston Central School, Oneonta State,
and three at Mine Kill State Park to bring the total camp series
to seven. Headwaters also sponsors the Oneonta Adult Summer Soccer
League, holds youth clinics and two charity golf
tournaments to raise funds for the kids.
In the long run, Headwaters' success can only be measured
by the programs we are able to offer to the children of this
area. The extent of these programs is dependent to a large degree
on not only the contributions of the sponsors, service organizations
and foundations mentioned in this brochure, but from people
like you.
So many times our children are short changed by the lack of
money for the kinds of educational programs available to their
peers in larger school districts. Because of these absent opportunities,
some of our children may be being denied the fulfillment of
dreams which they cannot yet even foresee. These missed opportunities
apply to areas of athletics as well. Most of the communities
in the four-county area do not have strong recreation programs,
ones geared toward providing year-round opportunities in the
area of soccer to children of the four counties. Yes, with time,
our children may be able to ascend the podium of national or
international recognition. Importantly, each of them will have
an opportunity equal to anywhere else in the country in at least
one small area.

our events or to make a donation to Headwaters, please contact
