曼哈顿SC

Manhattan Soccer Club was formed in 1997 as an aspirational splinter of a recreational soccer league on NYC's Upper West Side. Over the next five years, Manhattan SC grew rapidly while remaining firmly planted in a few local leagues. The club began to expand its footprint in the mid-2000s when the first few of what would be many subsequent state and regional-level teams were formed within the NYC soccer landscape. The renovation and development of Randall's Island Park in the late 2000s, provided Manhattan SC with a home for training and games.

Beginning in 2009, Manhattan SC launched an annual tournament held the first week of March, which drew hundreds of regional, national, and international teams to the NYC metro area each year. With the addition of a College Showcase a few years later, the club's name recognition and reputation rose.

By 2010, Manhattan SC fielded boys and girls teams in a variety of leagues and divisions, some of which won state titles.

In that same year, the club took another step toward regional and national relevance, when the board of directors approved the transition from a mainly volunteer organization to professional full-time staff, complete with an Executive Director and DOCs to develop and implement a club-wide soccer curriculum.

Since that time, the club has enjoyed continued success on the field, winning over 30 cup titles, 20 Premier League titles, and three National Championships as well as a significant number of individual tournament titles.

In December 2018, Manhattan SC entered a team in the semi-professional USL League Two, in the fourth tier of the U.S. soccer system. In March 2019, the club was accepted into the Boys ECNL.
