KANSAS CITY, Mo. (Sept 6, 2019) – The United Soccer Coaches Member Club Program is pleased to recognize youth soccer organizations who have participated in providing their coaches with access to Association related benefits and opportunities for five consecutive years.
Since its inception in August 2012, this unique program has provided over 500 youth soccer organizations and their coaches access to United Soccer Coaches resources, benefits and coaching education opportunities, including the annual United Soccer Coaches Convention. Group access to eLearning diplomas for both recreational and competitive coaches allow organizations to standardize their coaches’ education by ensuring a basic level of understanding regarding topics such as goalkeeping, systems of play and both attacking and defending principles.
“We are honored to have had the opportunity to collaborate with these organizations over the past five plus years,” said Andrew McGinnis, United Soccer Coaches Institutional Membership Manager. “The Member Club Program continues to have an impact on the youth game through coaching education, and our ability to serve the game is due to organizations like these who have prioritized their coaches and the support they receive to garner results on and off the field.
Of the 450 current Member Club Program participants, 55 Member Clubs have been with United Soccer Coaches since 2014 and are recognized by the association for their five-year milestone within the program.
