MNUFC Academy

The hallmark of the world’s greatest soccer clubs is athlete development. While producing first-team players is among every academy program’s primary goals, it is our belief that athlete development is far more holistic. At Minnesota United, we strive to develop the individual, not just the player.

The Academy trains at the National Sports Center, a 600-acre multisport complex located in Blaine, Minnesota. With more than 50 full-sized soccer fields — including the fields used by the first and second teams — our Academy athletes have access to one of the most impressive athletic facilities in the world.

With a staff of licensed, professional coaches, MNUFC Academy is not only full of talented soccer players, but exceptional instructors, mentors, and role-models as well.
