The U10s clinched highest honors at the BW Gottschee NYC indoor tournament held on January 30th in Queens, NY.

The MKFC U9 group excelled in their first ever competition. Playing against U10 teams, they won both their group games, the semi-final match and advanced to the finals before losing in a close contest. They played exciting, attacking, team soccer and represented the Club well in their debut performance. The Club would like to congratulate this young group who are already showing great potential.

Barboursville, West Virginia—The Manhattan Kickers FC ’96 team lost 1-0 in final game of the 2009 US Youth Soccer Region I under-12 Championships.  The team went undefeated through group play with wins over Bayside of Rhode Island (7-0), Oakwood Soccer Club from Connecticut (4-1), and Arsenal FC from Western Pennsylvania (2-1).  In the semi-finals the team defeated Lehigh Valley United of Eastern Pennsylvania (3-1) before falling in the finals 1-0 to Beachside of Connecticut.  Nine Kickers players scored goals for the team en route to the four victories.  This is the best finish of any New York City youth team in the history of this competition. 

The 2009 NJ Futsal State Championship turned out to be a great tournament for the MKFC ’96 team. With so many talented players, they sent 2 squads (Red and White) to participate in the U12 bracket. Red started with 2 close games won by a single goal each but finished large in their 3rd match to send them to the semi-finals only to meet their other half, the Whites! The White squad went through their first 3 games scoring a total of 18 goals and giving up only 2! Testifying to the quality of both squads, the Reds squeaked by with a 2-1 victory over their teammates. The Red squad went on to take the final game by an 8-0 margin and brought home the champions cup for the entire ’96 team.
