Maryland’s youth soccer system is led by the Maryland State Youth Soccer Association (MSYSA), the U.S. Soccer–sanctioned state association for Maryland and Washington, DC, serving more than 80,000 players across 240+ clubs. Families can use MSYSA’s affiliate club locator and district lists to find community rec programs, travel and competitive clubs, and inclusive offerings such as TOPSoccer, then click through to club and league sites (e.g., MSI, Central Maryland Soccer Association, MDSL) for details on registration, fees, travel, and pathways into MSYSA‑sanctioned leagues, State Cup/Presidents Cup, and US Youth Soccer National League events.
