Our Story
Our Roots
A Decade of Growth
Founded in 2014 by former player Kyle Morsink, MSA was built on a mission to empower young athletes through personalized training and expert guidance. Growing up in Costa Rica, Kyle experienced how soccer could be a pathway to opportunity. After his playing career, he founded MSA to help players develop on and off the field—building skills, resilience, and character. Over the past decade, MSA has grown into a trusted partner for athletes and families, guiding players through every stage of their journey.
The Athlete Development Center
A New Chapter
Opened in June 2025, MSA’s Athlete Development Center marks a bold step forward in our mission. More than just a training space, it’s a hub for holistic player growth—offering state-of-the-art facilities, specialized recovery programs, and private consultation spaces.
Designed to prioritize individual development, the center provides players with the resources, support, and guidance needed to reach their full potential.
Our Commitment
Your Lifelong Soccer Partner
At MSA, we’re more than a training academy—we’re a trusted partner throughout every stage of a player’s journey. Whether they’re just starting out, refining their skills during the teenage years, or navigating the college recruitment process, we provide personalized support and expert guidance.
Our commitment goes beyond soccer skills—we focus on developing resilient, confident athletes prepared for challenges on and off the field. With individualized training plans, mentorship, and ongoing support, we help players achieve their goals and build a foundation for lifelong success.

For over 20 years, Kyle has been coaching, recruiting, and consulting at the youth, collegiate and professional levels. He’s held roles at the youth level including the Director of College Placement at Springfield Youth Club (SYC), Assistant Technical Director at Lee Mount Vernon Sports Club (LMVSC), Head Coach for both boys and girls youth travel teams (12 years total) including the VA State Cup runner's up LMVSC ’02 Boys – many of whom Kyle has supported through the college recruiting process and are now playing at the collegiate level. At the professional level, Kyle was formerly the Head Scout at KMR Sports Group, an agency that represents over 20 MLS and international players.
Before dedicating his career to helping other athletes, Kyle was a D1 collegiate, 4-year starting player at James Madison University (JMU).

Before being recruited by JMU, Kyle, who began his playing career at age five in his home country of Costa Rica, played for the youth teams of Liga Deportiva Alajuelense and was a member of the Costa Rican U-15 and U-17 National Team pool.
Kyle developed his love for the game early on and continues to live out his passion by sharing his expertise with young players across the nation. He currently lives in Ashburn, VA with his wife, 8-year-old son, and 6-year-old daughter. He enjoys being active with his family – especially when it’s getting his own kids an early jump on his love for the game!

"My experience with MSA and working with Coach Kyle has been nothing short of amazing, both on and off the field. From my youth days until now, it was clear that the focus wasn't just on developing soccer skills, but on building strong, well-rounded individuals. As a player under Coach Kyle since the age of 9, I not only learned the technical aspects of the game but also gained invaluable lessons in leadership, teamwork, and responsibility that will carry on with me for the rest of my life."
