At SMSA, we introduce young players to the joy of soccer through our U4 Youth Development Program (YDP). As players grow, our U6 and U8 programs focus on building confidence, developing skills, and fostering a lifelong love for the game. From there, players can advance into our travel program, where they continue to refine their abilities and take their game to the next level.

Coaching Support

We provide all coaches—whether new or experienced—with guidance and a structured coaching curriculum. This ensures every coach knows SMSA’s expectations and has a clear plan for helping players grow, both on and off the field.

Player Development Programs

In addition to regular practices, SMSA offers programs designed to give players extra opportunities to improve:

• Summer Camp: In partnership with Boiling Springs High School players and coaches, this camp offers a fresh perspective and additional guidance for continued growth. Click here to learn more.

• Winter Training: Partnering with Messiah University men’s and women’s teams, players develop their skills over the winter and prepare for the spring season. Click here to learn more.

• All-In Tryout Training: A three-night program for U8 players preparing for Fall tryouts. Players experience similar drills to what they’ll see at tryouts, and parents can ask questions about travel soccer. Click here to learn more.

Our Mission

Our goal is to nurture players’ growth, build confidence, and prepare them for success in high school soccer and beyond—all while creating a fun, positive, and supportive environment for every player.
