Recreational Program
Our In-House program is designed to provide a positive experience to players that are playing for the first time and players not equipped to play Travel.

Travel/Premier Program
The Travel Program is geared to those players with a commitment to play competitively with an emphasis on development to play at a higher level.

Rec/Developmental

The purpose of the MLKJSL in-house program is to create a bridge between our developmental program and our competitive teams. Our in-house program is designed for players that are just learning the game and players that need further development to play at the Travel level. Players will be taught the fundamentals of the game and placed on teams with players of similar skills to compete in intramural games. The majority of games will be played at our home field with a game or two against nearby teams.

The In-House program will field teams in the U14 to U19 age group. We understand that not every player will have the required skills nor commitment to play in the Travel program. With this in mind, no player will be turned away from our program who wishes to play soccer.

Teams will train twice per week and play games primarily on Saturday. Trainings and games will be fun but competitive so players that are thinking of moving up to play Travel will have an idea of the commitment required.

Travel/Premier

The MLKJSL Travel program provides a highly competitive training and playing environment for players with the required skills, ability and can meet the demands and commitments placed on them. Our program promotes excellence and sportsmanship while striving to provide the highest level of training. Our focus is to enhance the players technical and tactical skills through a competitive team environment so they can effectively compete at an advance level.

MLKJSL currently fields travel teams in the U14 to U19 age groups. Travel teams train twice per week and play games primarily on Sunday, with some Saturday games throughout the season. Players are selected to play on travel teams through tryouts, which are held in the Spring of each year. In order to be selected to join a travel team, a player must commit to all three seasons (Winter, Spring, Summer). Each season, at least half the scheduled games will require traveling to our opponents’ fields.

Equal playing time is not guaranteed to everyone, a player’s playing time will solely be the coach’s decision. It’s important to note, games that are extremely close and competitive, some players may not get playing time. It is suggested and preferred that players speak to their coaches themselves regarding playing time. This builds their sense of autonomy and allows them to grow from the feedback received, an important ability to develop in their journey to play post high school. It is more helpful that a player speaks directly to the coach than from messaging from a parent regarding playing time (parent can follow-up).
