Supervisor George Homan leads ribbon cutting for Kids United indoor youth soccer center in Clarkstown

Supervisor George Homan joined local officials and community leaders at Nanuet Mall South to celebrate the opening of Kids United, an indoor youth soccer and development center aimed at children ages 1½ to 9.

The center’s owner, Brian Christu, told attendees that Kids United will offer 45-minute classes once a week that mix soccer instruction with physical and life-skills training. "We're teaching a combination of soccer, body, and life skills, and we're really just focused on building confidence through capability," Christu said, inviting families across Clarkstown to enroll and try classes.

Julie, a staff member from Congressman Mac Lawler’s office, offered congratulations on behalf of the congressman. Kai Tyler, who introduced the program to the audience, said Kids United will serve players under 10 and said it is the first program targeting that specific demographic in Rockland County as currently described by the organizers. "Come try us for a free class," Kai said, noting the program accommodates beginners through advanced players.

Keith Price, president of the Nanuet Civic Association, welcomed the center to the community and said the association looks forward to having Kids United in Nanuet. Supervisor Homan noted the facility’s proximity within the mall and encouraged local families to visit; he also congratulated Christu and his team on opening the new venture in the town of Clarkstown.

Kids United is located at Nanuet Mall South (across from At Home and next to Kupe Dance Studio). Organizers said classes are intended to help children develop both athletic skills and confidence. The event emphasized community support and outreach; organizers invited families to try a free class and meet staff at the new facility.

The ribbon-cutting concluded with an open invitation from town and civic leaders for residents to visit the new center and consider enrolling children in upcoming sessions.
