Full Results | College Coaches

The 2016 Manhattan Kickoff Classic was played March 4-6 as over 700 teams began the spring season in one of the nation’s largest and most competitive youth soccer tournaments.

The boys side included 52 total divisions across 10 age groups, with teams from 11 states and Canada competing for division titles. More than 250 college coaches observed the showcase age groups, representing all levels of collegiate soccer. Multiple NCAA Tournament qualifying programs were in attendance, including College Cup Final Four participants and a host of other premier academic and athletic institutions from around the region.

Of the clubs with teams who captured division championships at the Manhattan Kickoff Classic, none had more than NY Stars Premier, which had five teams win division titles and one other finalist.

Other clubs with multiple champions and finalists included host club Everton FC America (2 champions, 4 finalists), Manhattan SC (2 champions, 3 finalists), Beachside SC (2 champions), Soccer Domain FC (1 champion, 1 finalist), Clarkstown SC (1 champion, 1 finalist) and (PDA 2 finalists).

This year’s event was the first edition of the newly-merged Manhattan Kickoff Classic and National Elite Soccer Showcase (NESS), continuing under the Manhattan name. NESS, a high level tournament run by Albertson Soccer Club and Paul Riley Soccer School on Long Island for 15 years, provided field space and additional teams for the event.

The merger with Manhattan and NESS supplied the new event with more than 100 total turf fields as well as top referees from multiple states accompanied by National Assessors, State Assessors and Referee Administrators, as part of MSC’s Referee Identification and Development Program.
