In addition to the MYSL program, players have the opportunity to enter the Directors Academy (DA), our elite competitive platform for U10–U12 players who are ready for a higher level of development and competition. Teams compete in 7v7 and 9v9 formats with statewide travel across Michigan, facing top clubs in a challenging environment designed for players seeking greater development. The DA requires a higher level of commitment from both players and families and provides an advanced training and competition platform for players motivated to push their game forward.
