 The MetroStars Player Development School (PDS) is a supporting component of the overall MetroStars Player Development System that focuses on individual player development for player's ages 8 - 14 years. Based on the success of the inaugural program, the MetroStars have taken the Development School into the local communities. A network of Development Schools have been set up throughout the tri-state area involving partnership with youth soccer organizations and indoor sports facilities. This gives players throughout the tri-state area the opportunity to get the most comprehensive year round soccer training possible.
The length and structure of each program is based on the season that the course is offered in.
