Our Story

Our Community

We are the Silver City Sharks Football Club. For our inaugural season, we will be competing at the Men’s Division One UPSL (United Premier Soccer League) level providing a strategic entry point to the USA professional soccer pyramid and allowing us the opportunity to push for promotion to the Premier Division after just one season. 

Our Community

Our Community

 Our name and Club identity is deeply rooted in our home city of Sherrill, New York. Sherrill is known as the smallest city in the state of New York by population and is recognized as the Silver City due to the historical presence of the Oneida Limited Manufacturing Plant. 

Our Mission

Our Mission

Our club's mission is two fold. First and foremost we aim to give back to our home community by providing high quality and accessible training through our weekly youth clinic program.
