About MU’s Recreational U6 - U12 Soccer League
Don’t miss an opportunity to join the fastest growing soccer club in the state of Minnesota. Over the last 4 years MU has seen growth in its traveling program from 23 to 56 teams and a recreational youth soccer program that has grown from 200 players to over 700 players.
To keep up with this continuing growth, it has expanded its staff of professional soccer trainers to meet the training needs of all players. The addition of these professionals allows us to offer one of the top soccer programs in the state of Minnesota.
Basics
MU’s Recreational Youth Soccer League provides an exciting atmosphere for over 700 boys and girls U6 through U12 ages that runs June 5th – July 29th at Pearl Park. The 70 team league offers a 14 game season along with a kick-off camp on June 5.
Coaching
The Recreation Soccer Program counts on parent coaches to hold practices and run games. This means we need at least one parent to volunteer to coach each team to ensure your child as a team to play on. We would like to thank the many parents who have signed up to coach in past years and we hope you'll volunteer to coach or assist in coaching again! Please contact us at minneapolisunited@yahoo.com if you are able to coach.
Coaches Meeting / Y-Module Clinic

Registration is required for this clinic. The meeting and clinic will be held at Burroughs School. This meeting will prepare all coaches for the upcoming season.
