M.A.P. Welcomes Wellesley United Soccer Club Players

MAP is excited to announce a partnership with the Wellesley United Soccer Club for the summer of 2020. One of the premier Youth Soccer Clubs in the entire country, WUSC is committed to providing all Wellesley children with the best local youth program possible that is focused on age appropriate skill development, teamwork, sportsmanship and social growth while fostering a love for the game in an environment that encourages respect for teammates, coaches, opponents and referees. Our two programs are very much in line in terms of soccer development in combination with confidence building, teamwork and having fun. The half-day program will be offered at DeFazio Field in Needham and will focus on exposure to the game of soccer, skill development and a framework focused on team building and learning what it means to be a good teammate. The full-day program will include a more advanced curriculum. There is a $30 discount for all WUSC players.
