Boys MLS Next

Our MLS Next teams are built on a foundation of excellence, where each player is encouraged to push beyond their limits and strive for continuous improvement. These teams embody the values of dedication, resilience, teamwork, and respect—core principles that guide our coaching and player development philosophy. Through rigorous training and top-tier competition, we aim to develop players who are not only exceptional athletes but also outstanding individuals.

MLS Next is the premier youth development platform in the United States, providing a pathway to professional soccer for the most talented players. By competing in MLS Next, our players face the strongest opponents in the country, offering them the opportunity to test their skills and grow in a challenging environment. The league also provides significant exposure to college scouts, professional clubs, and national team programs, making it an ideal platform for players with aspirations beyond youth soccer.

At Oakwood, we believe in developing the whole player, focusing not only on technical and tactical skills but also on mental toughness, leadership, and character. Our MLS Next program is designed to prepare players for the demands of professional soccer and life beyond the game, equipping them with the tools they need to succeed at the next level.

If you are dedicated to achieving excellence in soccer and are ready to compete at the highest levels, Oakwood Soccer Club’s MLS Next teams offer the perfect opportunity.
