considering moving to the area. can you recommend clubs in Manhattan? we have two boys u6 and u9. prefer not to drive far. i know Manhattan sc and dusc are strong but are there any other clubs out there with good training?

To where will you move? Most of the good training is outside the city. The facilities are just bigger and more comptehensive. -
We usually see Asphalt Green at the same tournaments with DUSC. No idea what they are like other than that.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

PDA, no doubt, guess you either get a personal driver, or move to Zara-deathComment

Red Bulls or NYCFCComment

If his kids are that good, he would already know where to go, if not, NYSC or PDA, whichever is closer, expect 1.5 hours to either, practice 3-4X a week, plus games, and tournaments, $$$Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

arent there any clubs closer to the city ideally in Manhattan or nearby where they can get decent training? these are younger kids u6 and u9. ussf/mls academy doesn't start until u13 and while they are pretty good i have no idea where they will be at that age.Comment

I don't live in the city but have co-workers that have been happy with Stars Premier for the little ones.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

So what is wrong with MSC, are they too expensive? If so, there must be an AYSO branch nearby, just enter them there, and if it isn't challenging enough, then go to MSC....Comment

Never understood why people would choose to raise their kids in Manhattan. At some point it stops being about the adult and about the surroundings of the kids. Not many options for city soccer. Might be better for the kids at a NJ club or WC before driving to LI.Comment

Thats a moronic comment, people chose Manhattan for many reasons, most people cannot even afford to live there, so this guy whining about not taking his boys to MSC seems specifically negative to MSC, he must be a hater, or his boys aren't that good, either way stop bashing the club, they aren't the problem, you are.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

If Manhattan is so great why don’t they have a Cheesecake Factory?! What’s up now. NJ and LI have them.

C.F. is for fat American soccer dads, there aren't any in Manhattan because all the soccer dads are rich and have personal trainers, although the fried Mac-cheese balls are yummy....Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

How is that moronic? You'd understand if you lived or work there. It's no place to raise children. Keep em raised in a box, good idea. So mommy & daddy don't have to commute.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
Anyway, your options for youth soccer in Manhattan are limited, definitely will have to travel somewhat outside the area.Comment

having been around youth soccer for 15 years, there just aren't many good soccer players from manhattan. there is a reason manhattan - with 2mm population, has zero DA academy teams and maybe 1.5 semi decent premier teams at best. The handful of decent players, after a few years of dusc or asphalt green, trek over to Cedar Stars NJ, World Class, or the queens area - which is loaded with talent, at BWG or Met Oval. It's just NOT possible to get enough practice time and field space in city for any sort of development. city is just bad for kids - own up to itComment
