Shattuck-St. Mary’s School is very excited to inform you that we will be partnering with Minnesota United FC to create an integrated soccer development academy system that helps promising young men optimize their potential to become professional soccer players. This is a great honor for our school that confirms the high standards our soccer program has attained during the past ten years, and further demonstrates the great regard of our school by others. The partnership will dramatically enhance our program at many levels, and will provide direct access for our players and coaches to the highest level of professional soccer in the country. This is a truly outstanding development for Shattuck-St. Mary’s School and the Boys’ Soccer Center of Excellence.

Tim Carter, current Director of the Boys’ Soccer Center of Excellence and Head Coach of the U-18 Development Academy team, will join Minnesota United later this year to become the director of this new initiative and help ensure its success. This is a wonderful opportunity for Tim, and we are excited for him as he accepts his new role. At the same time, we are especially pleased that this structure will have Tim heading the partnership for Minnesota United FC and thus continuing his involvement with Shattuck-St. Mary’s through coordination of teaching and training between our Soccer Center of Excellence coaches and players and the coaches, sporting staff and players of Minnesota United FC.

While Coach Carter will no longer serve as the coach of the U-18 team after this season, in this new role and relationship he will continue to be a resource for the entire soccer program. Tim will work directly with the Shattuck-St. Mary’s Director of Boys Soccer in the areas of training, player evaluation and development, and expansion of opportunities for all of our players and coaches. His intimate knowledge of Shattuck-St. Mary’s soccer and his long-standing commitment to establishing it as a premier program nationally will help ensure that the partnership is of the utmost benefit for current players and families, as well as those enrolling in the years to come.





These are very exciting times for soccer at Shattuck-St. Mary’s and in Minnesota. We are proud to be working with Major League Soccer as it comes to the Twin Cities and our state, and look forward to further enhancements to our school and the education, programs, support and opportunities that come from being part of this great and unique institution.
