MLS NEXT Full Pathway
Friday, February 28, 2025
DUSC has been granted MLS NEXT Full Pathway (U13-U19) status starting Fall 2025! This invitation marks yet another milestone in our mission to provide the NYC soccer community with the most comprehensive access, support, and player development opportunities possible.
This news comes alongside the announcement of a strategic alliance between MLS NEXT and the Girls Academy (GA), fostering collaboration on membership opportunities, event integrations, and technical standards. Additionally, MLS has introduced a Tier 2 league program set to launch in Fall 2025, meaning DUSC will have both its first and second teams competing in MLS youth platforms.
DUSC is the only club in NYC that is a member of both GA and MLS NEXT, offering the most comprehensive playing opportunities in the city that never sleeps.
