Iowa Soccer affirms its commitment to strengthen coaching education in the Hawkeye State by signing on as an NSCAA Official Education Partner.

“This is a superb opportunity for both organizations to offer its members the best available resources in the game today,” Ian Barker, NSCAA Director of Coaching Education, said. ”We look forward to working closely with Iowa Soccer. If you want to continue your coaching education, Iowa will offer various courses for coaches at every level.”

Iowa Soccer will offer a wide variety of NSCAA courses starting this summer, with Levels 1 and 2, Goalkeeping, and High School diploma courses all on the horizon.

“We are extremely excited to partner with the NSCAA and incorporate the outstanding coaching and educational resources they offer to Iowa Soccer’s coach education program,” Ian Bradley, Iowa Soccer State Director of Coaching, said.

“This is a great opportunity to augment our coach education offerings and to improve youth soccer in the State of Iowa.”

Iowa Soccer has developed a top-tier program that recently saw four Iowa ODP alumni recently sign professional contracts: Whitney Sharpe with the Ajax Football Club, Ian Christianson with the New York Red Bulls, Lance Rozeboom with DC United and Kyle Zobeck with FC Dallas.
