MPS INNER CITY INITIATIVE“One of the issues in the United States is that elite

level soccer at youth level is and has been for the most part pay to play, clearly then, when you are talking

about economically disadvantaged inner city, you’ve got a problem.”

Sunil GulatiUnited States Soccer Federation (USSF) President.

The MPS Inner City Initiative has been a long term vision of Massachusetts Premier Soccer and was finally realized with the launch of the Brockton and Lowell SOE programs in Spring 2009. These programs were supplemented by the addition of the Jamaica Plain SOE in Fall 2009 and Worcester SOE in Spring 2011.

The goal of the MPS Inner City Initiative is to provide premier level soccer coaching to the at-risk, under-served communities in Eastern Massachusetts.

MPS would like to thank all organizations, individuals and families that continue to support the MPS Inner City Initiative.

AGE-APPROPRIATE SOCCER

Mass Premier Soccer believe in creating the ideal environment to maximise each players development. Each player participates in age appropriate sessions on appropriately sized fields. With development as our goal, we do not believe in promotion or relegation from competitive leagues and are proud to be a founding member of the New England Premiership.
