A developmental, "pre-select" program for U9-U10 players looking to excel.
DMSC Academy 9U-10U
A long-term developmental plan led by Academy Director Matt Lamale with assistance from US Soccer grassroots-licensed coaches, our DMSC Academy program is designed to prepare your player for the next level — competitive, select soccer.
Who is it for?
The Academy Program is the bridge between recreational soccer and select soccer for 9U & 10U players. There are no tryouts. Anyone who signs up can play. However, this tends to be a program for kids who like to play soccer at a higher level.
Consult the Birth Matrix Chart on the Programs page to confirm your player's age.
Registration fees:
- $350 per season
- Payment plans are available
