Metro United Soccer Club offers two seasons of youth soccer at both recreational and competitive levels of play. See below for the next opportunity to participate.
Registration for our spring soccer season beginning on March 17th has closed. Coaches will be contacting all new Club members after the March 4th Coaches Meeting.
If you are interested in joining Metro United Soccer Club or would like more information, please feel free to contact our Club Registrar, Melissa Knox at Registrar@MetroUnitedSC.org. We invite you to subscribe to our email list (on the home page) so that you can continue to receive updates from the Club about soccer camps and you can also be alerted when fall soccer registration opens this mid-June.
The make-up of individual teams varies, but many are formed based on elementary school attendance. As a result, most teams choose to practice at locations that are aligned with or close proximity to elementary schools.

U5 and U6 teams play in a small-sided 3v3 format with an 8 game schedule. A coach from each team is on the field to assist. There is no goalie and the emphasis is on having fun, learning some very basic techniques for dribbling, shooting and spacing, while letting the kids enjoy scoring goals.
U7 and U8 teams play on a somewhat larger field and play a 5v5 format with a goalie. At this level, player position comes into play (forward, midfielder and defender) and spacing and passing become more important to the game. Coaches are now on the sidelines. We strongly believe in the small-sided game format (as recommended by the United States Soccer Federation) in that it emphasizes participation and touches on the ball by the maximum number of players.
U9 and U10 teams move onto a somewhat larger field and a 6v6 format with goalies.
