After a successful first season, the Minnesota United Development Academy today announced the rosters for its second U13 and U14 boys teams, as well as its first-ever U15 group. The 58 selected athletes come to the program from 17 different club teams around the Twin Cities and surrounding region and include 27 returning players.
The U13 and U14 teams kick off their seasons in Chicago on Saturday, September 8 against Sockers FC and will have their first home matches on Saturday, September 29 against the Indiana Fire Academy. The U15 team will debut on Sunday, September 9 in Chicago against FC United Soccer Club with its first home match coming on Saturday, September 29 against the Chicago Fire Soccer Academy.
This year is an exciting one for the Development Academy. In addition to adding the Development Academy U15 team, MNUFC is adding an Academy Residential program for players from outside the local market and the Pre-DA is expanding its programming to offer more opportunities for local players.
