KidsUnited D-League provides players an experience similar to a travel program, without the same commitment. In essence, it is the stepping stone for our travel program. It is perfect for those hoping to eventually join a travel team, or for those that cannot commit to traveling long distances for games that the travel program requires. Our D-League program runs from September- June and will include 2 practices a week with professional coaches and a game on occasional weekends. League play will be played locally in Staten Island or 20-30 minutes into New Jersey.
D-League is offered for players U7-U9, placement is based on tryout or coach invitation.
