East Meets West as LIJSL Academy Teams Scrimmage Prior to Hudson Invitational Tournament

This past weekend, both the Academy East and West began final preparations for next week’s Hudson Invitational Tournament with scrimmages at Peter C. Collins Soccer Park.

The Academy East and West teams are heading to Stringham Park on July 17 and 18 to compete in the Hudson Invitational Tournament. Prior to the tournament, both East and West had the opportunity to play against each other, and in some cases, local clubs.

“It was great for the East and West teams to have some competitive games in preparation for the Hudson Invitational Tournament,” said Ronan Wiseman, LIJSL Academy Director. “Training is great, but having games will only help the players and coaches tailor their preparations for the event.”

The programs continue elite-level training sessions this week as they make final adjustments before travelling to the Hudson Valley.
