MLS GO Paterson Proud Soccer League

Building Skills, Confidence & Community

The Sayegh Civic Association is proud to bring the MLS GO Soccer League to Paterson — a program designed to help our children (ages 7-14)  learn the fundamentals of soccer while building character, leadership, and lifelong healthy habits.

A Strong Start to the Season

Our inaugural MLS GO season kicked off in September, and the excitement was immediate. Families came together, kids laced up their cleats with pride, and our coaches began laying the foundation for teamwork, discipline, and sportsmanship.

By October, our young athletes were on the field at Brandeis Park, learning ball control, passing, positioning, and communication through engaging, age-appropriate drills. Week after week, they grew more confident — and more connected to one another.

Continuing Indoors for the Fall & Winter

As temperatures dropped, we moved the league into the School 9 Gymnasium, where practices and scrimmages continue throughout the fall and winter season. This indoor space allows our players to stay active year-round, stay safe, and continue developing their skills no matter the weather.

What Our Players Are Learning

The MLS GO program focuses on more than soccer — it’s about developing the whole child. Our participants are learning to:

  • Work together as a team
  • Show leadership and good sportsmanship
  • Build confidence in new skills
  • Improve coordination, agility, and fitness
  • Support their teammates and themselves
  • Understand the fundamentals, positions, and rules of the game
  • Each week brings new progress, new friendships, and new reasons to be proud

Official MLS GO Uniforms – Powered by Red Bull

As part of our partnership with MLS GO, every player in our league proudly wears an official New York Red Bulls–branded uniform. These high-quality kits not only help our kids feel like true athletes, but they also build team pride and give our players a sense of unity every time they step onto the field. Families love seeing their children suited up in professional-style gear — and our players wear their Red Bulls colors with excitement and confidence all season long.

Preparing to Compete

Our players are also getting ready for one of the most exciting parts of the program — the chance to eventually compete against other teams in the region. As their skills grow, they’re looking forward to representing Paterson with pride, passion, and respect for the game.

A Program Rooted in Opportunity

At its core, the MLS GO Soccer League is about giving Paterson’s youth a place to learn, grow, and shine. Whether it’s a child’s first time playing organized sports or a stepping stone to future athletic dreams, this program helps them build confidence on and off the field.

Proudly Sponsored by Wellpoint
