Also, in a recent SYL announcement, the Rough Riders Youth organization was recognized nationally in three categories: Top Overall Clubs, Top Boys Teams, and Top Girls Teams.

The criteria used to determine the rankings were based on winning percentage (70%) and club administration (30%). In the Top Overall Clubs category, the New York Rough Riders were ranked ninth with a score of 64.5, while the Long Island Rough Riders came in eleventh with a score of 63.2. In the Top Boys Teams category, the New York Rough Riders were ranked in fourteenth place among 85 qualified teams, earning a score of 65.3. Two of the Top Girls Teams were recognized, with the Long Island Rough Riders placing second out of 57 teams with a score of 80.0 and New York Rough Riders earning ninth place with a score of 63.2.
