The US Soccer Foundation and the Urban Soccer Collaborative have joined forces to develop strategies, practices and resources that will yield measurable and sustainable results among the populations of children we serve. This annual event is designed to help develop new programs and strengthen already existing ones who are using soccer as a tool for youth development in under-resourced communities. This symposium is the only national event that provides resources, trainings, information and networking opportunities specifically addressing the issues facing these programs.

This year’s symposium focuses on the question: “How can we use soccer to intentionally improve the physical health and wellness of under-resourced youth?” Included are sessions on how to increase physical fitness, achieve acquisition of nutritional knowledge and produce positive food choice behavior by doing what you already do.

Panels also will include continued education in the fields of fundraising, strategic planning, event planning, partnership development, coaching education, life skills programming and measurements and evaluations.
