Girls' soccer teams around Section 2 hit the pitch last week for their first official practices of the 2026 season, hoping to set the foundation for a run at a championship this fall.
Last year, championships were won by Saratoga Springs in Class AAA, Niskayuna in Class AA, Schalmont in Class A, Mechanicville in Class B and Stillwater - an eventual state champion - in Class C. The Class D ******* le was shared by Northville and Fort Ann.
But, as with every year, the landscape is sure to change this season. Some powerhouse programs were hit hard by graduation, talented new challengers are ready to emerge and some of the area's top returning players are poised to take their games - and their teams - to the next level.
The area's girls' soccer schedule this fall is packed with rivalry games and showdowns that will have major playoff implications while also providing a chance for some of the Capital Region's top players to go head-to-head. Here are 10 regular-season games on the girls' soccer calendar that can't be missed.
