Regional Development School

The Red Bulls player development pathway has proven itself once again.

Red Bulls II captured the MLS NEXT Pro Cup, featuring players who began their soccer journeys in Red Bulls Regional Development Schools and Youth Camps. This victory is more than a trophy — it’s a testament to the Red Bulls philosophy of developing talent from the grassroots level. From summer camps to RDS to Academy, every step of the Red Bulls Pathway is designed to develop confident, creative, and technically skilled players.

Every player’s journey starts with a single step — a first camp, a first training session, a first goal. Through Red Bulls Youth Programs, players learn the same techniques, values, and style of play that define our professional teams.

From Camps and Clinics to Champions — the Pathway Works.

The New York Red Bulls set the pace for elite soccer training in the Tri-State area, as the first MLS team to boast a satellite based, pre-academy feeder system: the Regional Development School (RDS).

Offering advanced soccer players the opportunity to develop their game on a supplementary basis, the RDS is the single most successful route into the Academy teams, providing over 95% of Academy players since 2010.

Intended for competitive and elite travel level soccer players aged 7 to 14, the advanced curriculum is specially designed to target individual technical aspects of the game.

RDS is available year-round, with a variety of programs during the fall, winter, spring, and summer. For more information on your chosen season of training, click below!
