Boys Pathway
Develop Your Game, Pursue Your Goals
Madison 56ers gives boys the coaching, competition, and support to grow as players and teammates. From early development at local clubs to national league competition, our pathway helps players strengthen their skills, take on new challenges, and prepare for what comes next..
Alliance Development Program
U8–U10: Build Your Foundation
The pathway to Madison 56ers begins with a strong foundation at the local club level. Our partner clubs—Middleton United Soccer Club, Shorewood, and Regent Soccer Club—provide U8–U10 programming where young players can learn the game and develop their skills.
Through the Madison 56ers Alliance Development Program (ADP), players receive additional training with 56ers coaches while continuing to play at their local club. Open to players from our partner clubs and the wider soccer community, ADP builds technical skills, tactical understanding, and confidence in a fun, competitive environment.
Girls Pathway
A Pathway Built for Development
As players move into the 56ers team environment, training and competition evolve with them. Our boys program offers opportunities at different levels, helping players apply what they learn, contribute to their teams, and work toward their goals.
Develop Your Game | U11–U12
Strengthen Skills. Build Understanding.
The U11–U12 years help players build the foundation for the next stages of competitive soccer. Training develops individual technique, decision-making, and an understanding of how to work together as a team.
Players learn to solve problems on the field, take responsibility for their development, and build confidence through training and match experience.
National League Competition | U13–U19
Take on a Bigger Challenge
Madison 56ers’ first and second boys teams compete in USYS National Leagues, providing opportunities to test their skills against strong opponents.
As the game becomes more demanding, players continue developing their technical ability, tactical awareness, physical preparation, and mental approach. Training helps them meet those demands and contribute within a competitive team environment.
Our U11-U19 boys program also includes state and local competition opportunities based on age and team placement. These teams give players meaningful opportunities to develop their skills, gain match experience, and take on new challenges. Across the program, our focus remains consistent: quality coaching, purposeful training, and continued player development.
