Mankato United Soccer Club

Program: Mankato United Soccer Club (MUSC) participates in competitive leagues organized by the Minnesota Youth Soccer Association (MYSA). MYSA offers leagues for players Under 9 through Under 13 (Fall) and Under 9 through Under 19 (Summer). The competitive program focuses on individual and team excellence, and provides opportunities for players to learn advanced soccer concepts and skills as well as teamwork, self-discipline, honesty, generosity, and self-confidence. Players must be willing to sacrifice and work together for the good of their team, and accept that they may receive unequal amounts of playing time based on their differing abilities to contribute to team needs.

Schedule: Each team must have at least one volunteer coach. Teams are single-gender and usually practice on weeknights. In the fall, games are on weekends, and in the summer games are on weeknights. Games take place in Mankato and in other Southern Minnesota communities. Travel is an integral part of the competitive experience. Before registering, please consider carefully your commitment to this aspect of the program.
