NEW YORK, NY - The Big Apple presents significant opportunities for people from all walks of life, and in the case of Manhattan Soccer Club it’s hoping New York City will be a major sticking point as the club embarks on its first season in USL League Two.

Manhattan SC has competed at the youth level for over 20 years, serving Manhattan and its surrounding boroughs as a top club in the Tri-State area. But it wasn’t until recently though that MSC opted to expand its reach beyond the youth level, and that’s where League Two came into play for Rich Corvino and Ray Selvadurai.

Corvino – the club’s Executive Director – and Selvadurai – Director of Coaching – got together in 2018 to discuss the future ambitions of Manhattan SC and the possibility of expanding the club’s reach.

“It was really the only logical next step for us to take as a club,” Corvino told USLLeagueTwo.com. “Our goal has always been to utilize our great reach as an organization here at Manhattan SC to help better all of our players.

“USL League Two gives us another opportunity to embed ourselves in the pre-professional aspect of the game while allowing us to help get these players to the next level. The league is not only great in its on-field product with the quality of teams, but also how well they are embedded in their communities.

“We want to be able to help give our players every opportunity to succeed while also providing our supporters with a quality experience in the stands as they cheer on their players.”
