Boy’s Programs
BOY's COMPETITIVE player pathway
The Boy's Pathway Pyramid is a visual representation of the MSC Boy's Player Pathway. Each step needs to be reached by players looking to continue to climb to the top of their soccer careers. Skilled and ambitious players will have opportunities to climb levels based on their play. Teams will feature in these leagues, while also participating in NY Cup, as well as local and regional tournaments.
U5 - U8: Pre-academy/competitive programming
This age group is not only about player development but also social development as they are learning how to become teammates while playing a sport they enjoy. Players are expected to learn at their own pace and capacity. We just want them to have FUN while playing soccer.
ZONE 1: U9 - U12
Zone 1 begins with a focus on individual technical development with a smaller concentration on team tactics. Once their technical development progresses, the focus will shift toward the passing game, with a heavier concentration on tactics.
Zone 2: U13 - 14
Zone 2 represents the intermediate stage of our youth player development model. This program focuses on tactical development with continued emphasis on individual technical development. Through a structured curriculum and regular player evaluation and feedback, the foundations are established for athletic development and team building.
ZONE 3: U15 - U19
Zone 3 represents the latter stage of our youth player development model, which focuses on continued development of player and team tactical knowledge, conditioning/athletic development, team building/success, player character development and appropriate college soccer prep/showcasing.
