Manhattan Soccer Club is an American soccer club based in New York City. The club competes in the Metropolitan Division of USL League Two, the fourth tier of the American soccer pyramid.

History

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. With the renovation and development of Randall's Island Park in the late 2000s, Manhattan SC found a home for training and games that matched its ambitions for growth as an organization.

Beginning in 2009, Manhattan SC launched an annual tournament held the first week of March, which drew hundreds of top 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 with each successive year.

By 2010, Manhattan SC fielded premier boys and girls teams in a variety of leagues and divisions, capturing several state titles and putting a stamp on the regional landscape.

In that same year, the club took another huge 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, capturing over 30 cup titles, 20 Premier League titles, and three National Championships as well as a significant number of individual premier tournament titles.

December 2018 brought another leap forward with Manhattan SC entering 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.
