Elite Development League U7,U8,U9 & U10
2024-25 EDL Team Formation
U8,U9 & U10 EDL Teams will be formed following a Identification events that are scheduled for May 1-7. If you are unable to attend the ID event near you, and would like to be considered, please contact Kevin Carmichael. U7 & U8 aged players may attend the assessment or sign up for the Intro to EDL program during REC registration.
Players will attend ID events at Gulfport Sportsplex, Ocean Springs, Pascagoula or Stone Soccer Complex. Teams will be formed with regional geography as a priority with six boys and six girls teams per age group as the target for the 2024-25 program.
EDL teams are coached by paid SMSC staff coaches, practice 2-3x per week and have a Fall and Spring season. Travel is generally within an hour for match play with no over night stays expected. This is an optimal developmental experience for a young player wishing to grow their game.
