MDS Premier is the top level of the MDS pathway (level 3 of the MDS pyramid): academy-standard coaching and competition that runs in addition to your player's town travel team, so they never have to leave their club or their friends to play at a higher level.
Coming soonNext season coming soon. There's no open registration: players are selected.
Every year, clubs lose players at exactly the age they're getting good.
Players who want more usually have to quit their town team for an academy
Families pay far higher academy fees, or juggle two clubs at once (dual carding)
They stop playing with their school friends, and the club loses its best players
MDS Premier brings academy soccer to the players, so they reach the next level and stay with their club.
Eight things every family and club should know.
Players keep their town travel team and their school friends. MDS Premier is extra, never instead.
Players are chosen through MDS ID clinics, tryouts and recommendations from their club coaches. MDS leads placement.
Significantly below regional academy prices. The club's own fields keep costs down, and scholarship support is available discreetly.
Winter futsal (selected players represent MDS at tournaments) and MDS Summer Select keep development going all year.
The strongest players from several partner clubs come together as MDS Premier teams, and each keeps playing for their own town.
Teams are formed only when player quality and commitment meet the standard, so not every age group has a team every year.
MDS coaches from Premier League academies, English professional football and MLS, with a dedicated MDS technical lead for each partner club.
Premier teams compete in high-level regional leagues and advanced regional and national platforms.
Rec and travel happen at your player's club, and MDS coaches there. MDS Premier is the extra step for selected players: it runs alongside their travel team, never instead of it.
Players never leave their town team. MDS Premier runs in addition to travel.

Town recreational soccer, open to every child with no tryouts. It's about fun, friends and the fundamentals: first touches, confidence on the ball and a love of the game that lasts.
How MDS helps
Every level builds the same four MDS pillars.
No. MDS Premier runs in addition to their town travel team, not instead of it. They keep their club, their teammates and their school friends, and get an academy setup with MDS on top.
Through MDS ID clinics, tryouts and recommendations from their club coaches. MDS leads placement, and there's no open registration.
Not always. Teams are formed only when player quality and commitment meet the standard, so some age groups won't have a Premier team every year. Travel soccer remains a strong, valued pathway.
Significantly less than regional academies. Training on the club's own fields keeps costs down, and scholarship support is available discreetly.
