U13 Pathway Open Trial Announcement

St. Louis CITY SC Academy will host its annual Fall U13 Pathway Open Trial for 2014-born players on Sunday, October 25, 2026, beginning at 5:30 PM.

The U13 Pathway Program gives players the opportunity to train in the St. Louis CITY SC Academy environment while continuing to play full-time with their current club.

The program is an important part of our talent identification process and allows Academy staff to work directly with players, follow their development, and identify those who may have the potential to join the full-time St. Louis CITY SC Academy at the U14 age group. 

Pathway players participate in designated training cycles during the year, including fall and spring programming. Players selected through the Open Trial will be invited to begin participating in the U13 Pathway Program later in the fall.
