MSI Kindergarten Soccer

MSI Kindergarten Kickstart aims to give players an introduction to the world of soccer, the MSI way. More touches. More goals. More smiles.

Kindergarten Gameday Program

The MSI Kindergarten Gamedays are dedicated to providing both players and parents with an exciting weekend event. Parents will enjoy a supportive and inclusive community atmosphere where they can bond with other families, cheer on their little ones, and create cherished memories together. We hope that the Kindergarten Kickstart program will make every weekend match an event to remember. Game days begin with a short skill activity and then transition into a series of games against the other teams.
