History
editThe Manhattan Soccer Club formed in 1997 as a new group from a recreational soccer league on the Upper West Side of NYC. In the next five years, Manhattan SC grew quickly while staying involved in a few local leagues. The club began to grow more in the mid-2000s when it formed its first state and regional-level teams in NYC. The renovation of Randall's Island Park in the late 2000s gave Manhattan SC a place for training and games.
By 2009, Manhattan SC launched an annual tournament held the first week of March. With the addition of a College Showcase a few years later, the club's name recognition and reputation rose.
By 2010, Manhattan SC fielded boys and girls teams in a variety of leagues and divisions, winning over 30 cup titles, 20 Premier League titles, and three National Championships as well as other individual tournament titles.
In December 2018, Manhattan SC entered 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.
