The Manchester Soccer Club (MSC) is committed to providing an enriching youth soccer experience that upholds our core values. Our program emphasizes player development, teamwork, and social growth in a safe, positive, and enjoyable environment within the Manchester community. Participants will gain technical and tactical soccer skills while fostering sportsmanship, improving fitness, and building endurance in a structured, instructional setting.
Our program includes fall, winter (indoor), and spring seasons. Participation requires a commitment to all three seasons, with two practices per week and up to two games per weekend. Games may be scheduled within a 35-minute drive from Manchester.
Travel teams train twice weekly, beginning in the preseason and continuing through the fall and winter. Additional winter training sessions are available. Each team participates in at least one regularly scheduled league game, typically on Sundays, with optional friendly matches on Saturdays. Teams may also choose to enter seasonal tournaments.
All new players must provide age verification by uploading a birth certificate or passport during registration. A player cannot be assigned to a team until this requirement is met.
All players, both new and returning, are required to upload a passport-style profile picture during registration. The image must be a forward-facing headshot (shoulders up), without hats, masks, sunglasses, or action shots.
We greatly value volunteers in our Travel Program. A discount (amount TBD) will be applied to volunteer accounts upon successful completion of the following:
β Online SafeSport training
