MLSGO Recreational Soccer
MLSGO is Major League Soccer’s recreational youth program dedicated to providing an inclusive and high-quality soccer experience for all. With a mission to make soccer fun and affordable and ensuring more kids have the opportunity to play, together we are changing the game in Sarasota and Manatee counties.
The program focuses on technical skill-set development that aligns with what we teach and expect from the older, competitive, age groups at DME Academy, Sarasota. More in line with traditional recreational soccer, we train 1x a week in a team environment and then play 5v5 games on weekends.
Led by our Sr. Coaching staff, this isn't just another rec program but it sure is FUN!
What To Expect
Coaches by real coaches who have experience training both recreational and competitive players across all ages and genders.
Our staff creates and manages sessions just like they would a competitive team. Coaches prepare lesson plans to hone in on technical skill development in a fun and engaging environment for families.
Innovation is key. For example, our early development program allows for vertical movement into the competitive program as athletes improve.
We offer multiple training locations from Lakewood Ranch to multiple training locations in Sarasota.
