Mandeville Soccer Club

What Mandeville Soccer Club does

Mandeville Soccer Club (MSC) is a nonprofit community-based soccer organization founded in 1994 and headquartered in Mandeville, Louisiana. The club serves over 2,000 players organized across 150 teams and operates a vertically integrated product portfolio spanning youth recreational soccer (U5-U19), a U9-U10 Academy bridge program, the Lakers competitive program (Elite, Premier, and Select tiers), an Adult COED League, Futsal, TOPSoccer for special-needs players, MSC Fit fitness programming, Beestera Soccer camps, dedicated goalkeeper training, private training, and coach/referee education. The club is one of fewer than a dozen programs in Louisiana offering all levels of soccer education and play, and its Lakers Boys Elite teams won three consecutive Louisiana State Cup championships (2021, 2022, 2023).

The underlying technology stack consists of third-party SaaS tools rather than proprietary systems: PlayMetrics for online registration and team formation, Hudl for video and performance analysis (partnership announced in 2025), and the Game Officials platform for referee scheduling and self-assignment. The MSC Way is the club's training methodology, structured around four game phases (Attack, Defend, Transition to Attack, Transition to Defend) using a tactical periodization framework, with age- and position-specific technical and tactical curriculum. All field operations are conducted at Pelican Park (Recreation District #1) in Mandeville under a 25+ year partnership that provides natural turf fields, lighting, field marking, and turf care at no cost to the club.

MSC's business model is membership/registration-fee based with seasonal billing cycles. Recreational fees range from $105 (U5-U8) to $145 (U11-U14) per season, Academy fees are $450-$500 per fall season, and Lakers Elite/Premier/Select fees approximate $1,200 per playing year plus uniform and tournament costs. Uniforms are sourced through Third Coast Soccer, and financial assistance is available for qualifying families. The club is governed by a nine-member elected Board of Directors and is supported by 200+ volunteer coaches and nearly 100 referees, with a professional staff including an Executive Director, Director of Coaching & Player Development, Youth Academy Director, Recreational Director, Director of Operations, and Goalkeeping Director. The club is affiliated with the Louisiana Soccer Association, US Youth Soccer Federation, US Soccer Federation, and indirectly with FIFA, and in 2025-2026 entered the ECNL Regional League Gulf Coast Conference for top-tier boys and girls teams at U13 and above.
