MACH 1 Premier Teams are open to all youth players U9-U19 and is not dependent on residency of any town or state.

MACH 1 FC Premier Teams have the opportunity to play in various leagues with most playing in the largest league in New England – New England Club Soccer League – NECSL. League decisions (Regional Academy League, US Youth Soccer National League, the NECSL and others) however are determined by joint effort between the Coaching Director and the team’s Head Coach with priority being the highest level of competition with the least amount of travel.  Player development is the fundamental philosophy behind divisional placement whereas players will need to work hard to achieve winning results.  Also understanding both wins and losses are valuable learning experiences and work towards developing the MACH 1 FC “Complete Player.”

MACH 1 FC is neither exclusively a single age group nor dual age group club. In keeping with the theme of speed with MACH 1 being the speed of sound, we operate three levels of teams:

• Elite (the highest-level teams in an age group, not all age groups have Elite teams)
• Hypersonic (8x the speed of sound – highest level team if no Elite team)
• Supersonic (3x the speed of sound – second teams)

Elite and Hypersonic Teams are the highest-level teams within MACH 1 FC. These teams are typically dual-age group teams for the U12, U14, and U16 divisions. The Coaching Director and Head Coaches select players based upon player attitude, development, ability, and exemplify the qualities of the MACH 1 “Complete Player.” The Elite and Hypersonic team assignments are a privilege and team assignments may be adjusted at any time if attendance or performance is compromised.

The Single age group SuperSonic teams are the feeder teams. Supersonic Teams are typically single-age group teams from U7-U16.

Junior Premier and FUTURES teams are those U5-U8 teams learning the love of the game and beginning their development towards the MACH 1 FC “Complete Player!”

How are team placements decided? Not town politics, not winning records, not money, not parental pressure…ONE thing determines placement…professional soccer minds determining the most developmentally appropriate environment for your son or daughter to allow them to grow both physically, emotionally, technically, and ultimately into the MACH 1 “Complete Player!”
