The Midcoast United Soccer Club, the Midcoast region’s official travel soccer club, is gearing up for the start of our spring travel soccer season. This year, Midcoast United is fielding four co-ed teams, one each in the under 9, under 10, under 12 and under 14 age groups. Practices are underway in Boothbay and Wiscasset, and our first games of the season are scheduled for Sunday, May 4.

In collaboration with GPS Phoenix soccer, there will be upcoming training sessions for everyone who is interested. The first training session for ages 8-14 will take place in Brunswick at Coastal Performance Center beginning Tuesday, May 6, 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. and run for six weeks.
