Baltimore Middle School Soccer League

The Baltimore Middle School Soccer League provides students in Baltimore City Middle Schools the opportunity to participate in organized soccer league competition. The league consists of two seasons, Fall and Spring. Eight boys teams and eight girls teams play in the fall and 12 girls teams play in the spring. Annually, more than 480 young people identified by their schools normally participate in the league. Teams practice after school and play interleague games against other middle schools from all over Baltimore City.

The Baltimore Middle School Soccer League is an excellent opportunity for young people to learn the fundamental skills of soccer, teamwork and sportsmanship. For many participants, this is their only opportunity to participate in a structured after school athletic program. Along with building soccer skills, the league also reinforces the importance of school by monitoring academic performance, daily attendance, and citizenship of players. At the end of each season, there is a tournament with rewards for the winning team and the team with the highest academic achievements.

The Baltimore Middle School Soccer League is sponsored in partnership with The Abell Foundation and Baltimore City Public Schools.
