Following the success of the six Spring Player Development Schools, the MetroStars recently announced the launch of four additional schools for the fall season, including the first in southern Long Island.

Levittown Soccer Club's Pelini Fields has been selected as the home for MetroStars Player Development Programs in Long Island. This move by the MetroStars, further cements their commitment to youth soccer across the entire tri-state area.

The Levittown Player Development School will run for eight consecutive Wednesdays beginning Sept. 15.

Players 7-14 years old are eligible for the program. Players will be grouped with other players of similar age and skill. The Player Development School offers structured, progressive training, which covers the technical, tactical and functional aspects of the game required to play at the next level.

The program curriculum has been structured to serve as a means for identifying players for a potential opportunity with the MetroStars Academy teams.

Each site is limited to just 48 players and will have a player to professional instructor ratio of 12:1.

Strategically placed throughout communities in the tri-state area, MetroStars Player Development Programs are the best resource for youth soccer players to access high level training at local clubs. The program curriculum has been designed by MetroStars Player Development staff to provide structured training for soccer players to continue their progression through the summer.
