KANSAS CITY, Mo. (Jan. 27, 2022) – United Soccer Coaches announced last week at the 2022 United Soccer Coaches Convention, a new partnership with the youth sports management platform company, LeagueApps.
The multi-year agreement makes LeagueApps an Official Partner of United Soccer Coaches, and the Presenting Sponsor of the United Soccer Coaches Podcast. The United Soccer Coaches Podcast, hosted by veteran sports broadcaster Dean Linke, is a weekly podcast covering coaching topics from all levels of the game featuring coaches, players, and administrators across the nation.
“We’re excited to partner with a company dedicated to being a difference-maker in the industry,” said Geoff VanDeusen, CEO of United Soccer Coaches. “Partnering with LeagueApps, a company that shares our same beliefs about the importance of sport, only helps to further the association’s mission to offer more professional development opportunities to our members.”
In an effort to further the accessibility and education of coaches and club administrators, the agreement also features the opportunity for both LeagueApps and United Soccer Coaches to collaborate on key initiatives including topics surrounding club admin best practices and professional development for coaches.
“In all of the work that we do at LeagueApps, we are inspired by Nelson Mandela when he spoke about how sport has the power to change the world,” said Jeremy Goldberg, president of LeagueApps. “The work of the soccer community has never been more important than it is today and we are looking forward to, in the words of Mandela, digging deep to help to unite people in a way that little else does.”
