Fall Sports Update
SOAC is making decision on Fall Sports by following the guidance of our local government officials, school officials as well as medical professionals.  Please reach out to each individual Sports Director for specific question or concerns.

It is with a very heavy heart that we have to share this news with our members.
Our Director of Girls’ Softball, Michael Houlahan, passed away after a long, courageous battle with 9/11 related cancer. A retired NYC police detective, Mike was also a devoted father, husband and a dedicated advocate of all children.
For over 18 years, Mike donated thousands of hours of his personal time as a softball and basketball coach and as the Director of Girls’ Softball. During this time he positively impacted hundreds of young athletes and their families.
Mike believed passionately that all children should have a place to play sports, regardless of talent or experience. He was a man of the highest integrity who could be counted on to always do what was right for the kids.
As an organization we are fortunate to have had Michael as part of the SOAC and are deeply saddened that our friend is gone.
We send our deepest condolences to Mike’s family including his mother, brothers and two children Michael and Jenna.
