M.A.C. Soccer All-Star Game

Missouri Athletic Club High School Senior All-Star Games
St. Louis has a soccer tradition that is unmatched by any city in America. The Gateway City is regarded as the soccer capital of the U.S. That reputation dates back to 1950, when a group of St. Louis boys led the United States to a shocking upset of England in the World Cup. Later, Saint Louis University would dominate the college soccer world throughout much of the 1960s and 1970s. The Billikens 10 national championships are a record. Today, local players like Taylor Twellmann, Pat Noonan, Steve Ralston and Chris Klein are regarded among the top American professional players St. Louis has a long history of developing home grown talent. Today's budding soccer stars continue to get excellent coaching and encouragement in the St. Louis region through various leagues, club teams and high schools. To recognize these talented young players, the Missouri Athletic Club sponsors the High School Senior All-Star Games every June. The games feature the top prep boys and girls soccer players in the St. Louis area. Players are divided into North and South teams, depending on their schools' location. The girls' game is at 6 p.m., followed by the boys' at 8 p.m. The games are played at the Anheuser-Busch Center in Fenton. Players are selected by the Eastern Missouri High School Coaches Association. Annually these games feature a number of bright young players who go on to make their mark at some of the top college programs in the country. The event has grown in popularity in recent years, attracting print and television coverage from Charter Cable. Hosting the High School All-Star Games enhances the Club’s effort to promote amateur soccer both locally and nationally. The M.A.C. annually honors the top collegiate soccer players with the presentation of the Hermann Trophy.
