The upper 90 is the hardest place to put a ball — the top corner of the goal, where keepers can't reach. It's also where this magazine has always aimed.
Upper 90 Magazine launched in 2016 as a print publication built on a simple belief: youth soccer deserves real coverage. Local papers stopped covering the grassroots game a long time ago. Meanwhile millions of American kids play every weekend — state cups are won, players develop, clubs build something real — and almost none of it gets written down.
We covered it. Club features, Coaches Corner, player spotlights, state association news, college recruiting — issue after issue, from 2016 through 2018. That archive is now reopening in the Vault.
The new Upper 90
We're back — rebuilt for how the game is followed today. No page-flip PDFs, no waiting two months for the next issue. Stories publish continuously, and the biggest change is who writes them: you.
Clubs, coaches, and team managers can submit stories directly — tournament runs, player features, club milestones. Our editors review every submission, polish it, and publish it. Your players get the coverage. Your club gets the spotlight. The game gets its record.
