What programs does Mississippi Reign Futbol Club offer?MS Reign FC runs an Academy track for newer or developing players who compete at local tournaments in lower divisions, and a Competitive track rostered by skill that plays locally and on the road across the Gulf South. Both pathways sit inside a US Club Soccer Division 1 club structure with volunteer USSF-licensed coaches, and players may move from academy to competitive through guest appearances or coach invitations when they are ready.

About
Mississippi Reign Futbol Club (MS Reign FC) is a Division 1 competitive youth soccer academy on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, based in Moss Point and operating as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit under US Club Soccer since 2015. Boys and girls from U8 through U18 train in academy or competitive tracks with volunteer U.S. Soccer-licensed coaches who emphasize technical, tactical, and character development in a family-friendly setting. Teams travel to tournaments across Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, Florida, and the wider South, and the club partners with HFC to offer pathway development for athletes aiming at higher competitive levels.
Academy and competitive pathways
Academy teams serve players who are newer to soccer or need more development time. They compete at local tournaments in lower divisions so families experience manageable pressure while skills grow; players may guest with competitive rosters or move up when coaches see readiness. Competitive teams roster by skill level and play locally and on the road at tournaments that challenge advanced players. Competitive athletes face more rigorous training, internal competition for minutes, and expectations to work in demanding environments that build work ethic and excellence.
Player development philosophy
MS Reign FC prioritizes long-term player development over short-term results. Coaching focuses on adaptable, universal players who can contribute in attack and defense, with licensed volunteer instructors—many also hold referee certifications—who volunteer without profit to serve the community. The mission extends beyond the pitch to integrity, hard work, and life lessons families can carry beyond soccer.
Tryouts, ages, and seasonal rhythm
Annual tryouts run each May for the upcoming season, with U8–U18 age groups. The 2026–2027 cycle schedules boys and girls U9–U10 on May 5, boys U13–U18 on May 7, and girls U13–U18 on May 8, with evening training sessions led by club coaches; players should attend the session matching their birth year and may be invited to an older group when appropriate. Tryouts are free. Families new to the area can contact the club for a private evaluation outside the main window. Older competitive teams generally avoid overlapping school soccer seasons so athletes can balance both commitments.
Costs, uniforms, and gear
Competitive families should plan for Adidas uniform packages typically in the $200–$250 range (often $175–$250 depending on size) that include three game jerseys, game shorts, game socks, and a practice jersey, ordered through Team Hub Sports. Tournament and administrative fees run about $600–$700 per year, commonly split into four installments (for example roughly $150 in August, September, February, and March) to cover roughly eight to ten tournaments. Season tournament dues are often $300–$350 per fall and spring season, with about four to five tournaments per season from August through October and February through May. Academy cost details are still being published; families should ask leadership for current academy pricing.
