Developing Excellent Players and Outstanding People
Grassroots
The focus of this program is to introduce soccer to little kids where young girls and boys are given an opportunity to learn to play soccer in fun, and local environment. Usually, the ages of kids playing in this group are 4-6 years. Some soccer clubs like to call this program Play to Learn. Kids play in mixed groups (boys and girls). It is possible that kids at this age are coming into their first organized social/sport activity so parents are encouraged to volunteer and be close to their kids on the field.

MAC United 4 Sisters - Registration Opens Soon
The MAC United 4 Sisters Program will be starting a specialized program aimed for youth girls, ages 10-15. Our overarching goal and vision are to create an inclusive, safe and welcoming environment for our Muslim girls. Our soccer sessions are intertwined with halaqas where we discuss the following themes: strengthening our Iman, Muslim women in sports, building healthy habits and health & wellness.
We are passionate about finding the beauty of our religion within every scope of our daily lives, and we strive to build this love within the girls as well. The timeline of this program will be determined based on outdoor and indoor season schedules. We look forward to building positive relationships and bonds with the girls and enhancing our sisterhood through empowerment!
