EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW
-
We offer structured programs for players ages 2 through 14:
Medina Minis (Ages 2–5): An introductory, play-based program focused on movement and early ball mastery.
Youth Development Program / YDP (Ages 6–14): A progressive skill-building program focused on technique, decision-making, and small-sided match play.
-
Not at all! We welcome players of all skill levels. Medina Minis is designed as a joyful, first-time introduction to the ball. For YDP, our coaches are trained to group players appropriately and differentiate instruction so beginners learn the fundamentals while experienced players are challenged under pressure.
-
We currently operate out of three primary locations in Queens:
Bayside: Raymond O'Connor Park
Jamaica: Detective Keith L. Williams Park
Fresh Meadows/Flushing: Kissena Corridor Park (Rachel Carson Playground) & Cunningham Park (Medina Minis) Check our program schedules for the specific days and times at each location.
-
Yes! We know choosing a new program is a big decision. We offer a zero-pressure, zero-obligation $0 Trial Pass. Your child can step onto the field, meet the coaches, and experience a live session. If it’s the right fit, you register for the season. If not, you walk away with nothing owed. (Please note: Promotional sessions, including free trials, have no monetary value and cannot be refunded or credited under any circumstances.)
-
Absolutely! As long as both children are registered for the exact same location, day, and time, they will be playing together. Since our groups are strictly capped at 12 players, we recommend coordinating with the other family and registering early before the session sells out.
-
If you purchase a Season Pass, your uniform is included! YDP Season Pass holders receive a Medina Jersey, and Minis Season Pass holders receive a Medina Minis T-Shirt.
If you are registering for a single drop-in session, please follow these color guidelines:
YDP Drop-ins: Please wear a navy blue or blue shirt, paired with athletic shorts or pants.
Minis Drop-ins: Please wear a light blue or blue shirt, paired with athletic pants or shorts.
For safety, YDP players (Ages 6–14) are required to wear shin guards and soccer cleats or turf shoes. Minis (Ages 2–5) can wear standard athletic sneakers. We provide all the soccer balls and training equipment on the field.
-
For our youngest Medina Minis (Ages 2–3), a parent or caregiver is required to be on the field to help them feel brave and participate. For Minis Ages 4–5 and all YDP players (Ages 6–14), parents are welcome to drop off or relax and watch from the sidelines while our coaches take over.
-
We play through light drizzle with no lightning.
If there is heavy rain, an unsafe field, a heat index above 104 degrees, or an NYC Heat Emergency, the session is cancelled.
For lightning and thunder, all activity stops immediately and we wait a full 30 minutes from the last strike.
If we cancel a session, we will notify you by 7:30 AM on the day of the session via Email, our WhatsApp community, Instagram Stories, and Facebook Stories.
If a session is cancelled due to weather, drop-in registrations receive a makeup class during the season, and Season Pass registrations receive a credit toward a future Medina season. Promotional sessions receive no credit.
Please refer to our Policy under About Us for full details.
-
Because our groups are strictly capped at 12 players to maintain a high-quality coaching environment, we cannot offer makeup classes for personal absences (like illness or vacations). If your child suffers a season-ending injury, please provide a doctor's note within 48 hours for a prorated medical credit to your account.
Please refer to our Policy under About Us for full details.
