Total Football Hudson Valley (TFHV)
Youth Soccer Academy • Beacon, NY • EDP And so, Total Football Hudson Valley was created.

Total Football Hudson Valley (TFHV) is a youth soccer academy which serves New York’s Dutchess & Orange Counties and surrounding areas. At Total Football Hudson Valley, we emphasize the holistic development of our players, understanding that children need support beyond just technical and tactical work to find success and joy in soccer. We believe that community is where the individual thrives, and aim to build teams that stay together for many seasons, fostering friendships and bonds between players - as well as a passion for the beautiful game through competitive and high-level play. TFHV seeks to provide an alternative to many academies’ ‘sink or swim’ methodology by offering the highest standard of focused, individualized instruction to each player. Our goal is to build skills, confidence and character on and off the field in order to prepare young people for their best possible futures. THE STORY OF TFHV
TFHV was established in Beacon, NY in 2023 by Glen Wrafter, Derek Limbert and John Riordan, to address the need for local academy-level soccer training and competition. While coaching their own kids in recreational and travel soccer in Beacon, Derek and Glen realized the crucial need for more advanced training programs in the surrounding communities, including the Beacon, Fishkill, Wappingers and Newburgh areas. It became apparent that the most talented and dedicated local soccer players were leaving the area to play on academy teams. In addition to recognizing this as a logistical impossibility for most working parents unable to drive their kids 45+ minutes to practice, it was disappointing for two individuals with such strong Hudson Valley pride to see the best players heading elsewhere. In the six years that Glen and Derek coached soccer in Beacon, they have dedicated countless hours to supporting the technical development of their players and creating team cultures rooted in integrity and commitment to the game. They believe that coaches play an essential role in a young player’s development, both on and off the field, and do not take this responsibility lightly. (Click to view parent testimonials)

In founding TFHV, Glen brought in fellow former NY Shamrocks board member John Riordan. John, a committed advocate for youth community soccer through his role at the nonprofit America SCORES, shares their passion for sports education and has valuable experience in building and growing a soccer club.
