Morris United Soccer Club's Player Development Program is the initial entry to soccer for players aged 4-9 (U5-U10) years old.  The program emphasizes developing a player's fundamental soccer skills in a fun and safe environment.   The goal of the program is to grow an athlete's love of the game and to provide a base level of soccer knowledge and skill which allows the player to continue his/her love of soccer at a level of intensity commensurate with his/her ability and commitment to the game through the Recreation, Travel and Academy level programs offered by the Morris United Soccer Club.

The MUSC Player Development Program focuses on developing each child's fundamental soccer skills necessary to become a successful player later in life.

Fundamental Soccer Skills:
- Dribbling
- Turning
- Passing
- Receiving
- Shooting

As players advance, the program increases the challenge posed to players in these fundamental skills by focusing on age appropriate levels of soccer development.
