With the help of County Executive Robert P. Astorino, House of Sports formally welcomed the New York Cosmos to Westchester today at their facility in Ardsley, N.Y.

The New York Cosmos Training and Development Program (TDP) has already started offering soccer clinics and camps to children of all ages and abilities at the House of Sports, and will continue to oversee all soccer training activities at the 120,000-square-foot indoor sports complex.

"The New York Cosmos have a strong belief in the importance of youth development in the U.S. and this partnership not only helps implement our youth training philosophy but also enables us to reach more of our fans in Westchester,’’ said Cosmos Chief Operating Officer Erik Stover.

Stover presented Astorino with a Cosmos jersey during The Soccer Summer Camp program.

"Westchester County is excited to welcome the New York Cosmos," Astorino said. "Thanks to outstanding businesses like House of Sports, professional teams are Westchester Smart when it's time to expand their footprint. I am proud to say the Cosmos are one of those teams."

The Cosmos will also offer a full and part-time elite development program. With the full-time program, athletes can attend school at the House of Sports and train 3-5 hours per day.

Cosmos instructor Charley Marshall will act as Training Coordinator at the House of Sports, monitoring daily soccer operations.
