Academy soccer is a recreational hybrid. A player can play rec and academy at the same time. If a player registers for Rec with MSA their academy paperwork is included in the registration fees. A parent only has to send an email to the office and request the paperwork.
Academy soccer is limited to U7 – U10 players.
Academy is different than rec in the following ways:
| Recreational Soccer | Academy Soccer |
|---|---|
| 50% playing time | No Guarantee of 50% playing time |
| on one team all season | change teams at will |
| pay one fee each season | register and pay for rec pay club fees each month |
| MSA places player on team | Player finds their own team/club |
