This program is dependent on community involvement and we need your help! We are revitalizing Minisink Valley Soccer Club and this will take some time. The more players and volunteer coaches who register, the more teams we can make for games against each other.

Our Program

This is a developmental program with a strong focus on fundamental training. We train for each player’s future success in games. 

We follow a club wide curriculum so that all teams are learning the fundamentals of the game at the same time for maximum development. Coaches will be looking for club wide improvement not for their own team to win.

After age 7, If you want more advanced training, with high quality competition, please register for our Elite Teams. We have very good numbers signed up for rec and have a U9-10 Team, a U11-U12, and a U13-U14 Team.
