Recreation

MSI Recreational Soccer

Each season, thousands of athletes play on an MSI recreation team! Our signature Recreation league is the foundation of MSI. There are no tryouts, and we welcome players of all skill levels to have fun and enjoy the game. Teams focus on development over competition; each player is guaranteed playing time equivalent to at least half a game.

Spring 2024 Recreation League Registration is now OPEN!

MSI Rec Soccer

Unlike other clubs, youth players can choose to play on MSI’s Recreation teams at any grade – from first-grade classmates learning a new skill to multi-sport high school athletes balancing a demanding schedule. Dedicated volunteers lead our Recreation programs. Players can participate in fall and spring MSI recreation sessions.

Returning players, please use the link emailed to you to register. New players, please click this link to register: 2024 Spring Recreational Program
