Fall 2024 in the Books
The final games of the fall 2024 season were played this past weekend. Great job by all of our intramural, club to club, travel and our newest Centennial players in our 1-3 year old program. Enjoy the holidays and we will see everyone in the spring.
Giving Thanks
The Centennials want to again thank all of our volunteers for another successful season. Our volunteer coaches, managers and board members are all crucial to making the Centennials the successful community soccer organization that it is. To that end, the Centennials recently held its Coaches Appreciation Party for our intramural and travel coaches.
At this event, the Centennials recognized two long-time coaches for the time, effort and dedication not just to their respective teams but to growing the game of soccer in Garden City and helping to teach their players life lessons in addition to the fundamentals of the game.
Matt Uhoda and Doug Bohn were both presented awards for their efforts with the GC Bobcats from their beginning at U10 all the way through U19. Congrats and thank you for your dedication to the club and your players.
The Centennials want to congratulate both the girls and boys GC Varsity high school soccer teams on their successful seasons!
The GC Centennials are the home soccer club for the village of Garden City, NY. With approximately 2000 players across our intramural and travel programs, we are the largest youth soccer club on Long Island. Founded in 1969, the 100th anniversary of the founding of the village of Garden City, the GC Centennials was organized to provide the youth of the community with a positive experience through the sport of soccer.

One way to sum up the fall 2023 season so far - RAIN! From St. Paul's all the way to Connecticut and back, rain reeked havoc on game and training schedules this fall season but also provided for some wet and soggy, but fun times for our players.
At this point it is just copy and paste. October 21 Intramurals are canceled due to field conditions.
Yet another rainout! All Centennial Intramural soccer and all Centennial home travel soccer games are canceled for Sept. 30th due to field conditions.
The Centennials Intramural season has been extended by one week to November 18th.
Fall 2023 Season Starts September 9!
Centennial Intramural Programs and the regular LIJSL Travel season start tomorrow, September 9. Good luck to all of our teams!
