    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 it
    I grew-up in NYC, mostly Queens and Brooklyn, and I would love to live on the UWS, just cannot afford, WCFC is a great choice for people who live in Manhattan!

      MSC is a great club for kids that age but would suggest you live on the Upper East or Upper West side to make the commute easier. If you want to live downtown, DUSC is a good choice but hey have less teams due to space constraints. Manhattan Kickers is a great program for premier level kids and Stars Premier is another good travel option. As mentioned above Asphalt Green has a solid program (better if you live on the Upper East Side) The city also has many rec programs such as West Side Soccer that can lead into a travel team program run jointly by parents and Red Bull trainers. Plenty of options out there.

      Don't listen to the Manhattan haters, kids get plenty of practice time and MSC/DUSC premier teams play in the NYCFC league with other top clubs throughout NJ, Westchester, and Long Island. Your kids are young enough where any of these clubs would be a good choice. Raising your kids in the city is an amazing opportunity for them!
