The National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a strategic partnership agreement with T4 Soccer, LLC, a leading provider of sports performance assessment testing and data analysis. Effective February 23, 2012, the NSCAA will continue to advance education and testing in the sport of soccer through an exclusive arrangement to utilize T4’s sport-specific performance assessment testing protocols, web-based score analysis system, and related education and training.

T4 Soccer, (www.t4soccer.com), has created a battery of soccer-specific tests to evaluate players’ speed, agility, power, and aerobic and anaerobic endurance. These tests are designed to objectively evaluate a player's physical soccer performance and are supported by scientific research. In addition, T4 has developed a web-based system that allows clubs, colleges, high schools and their staff to store players’ scores, track performance, monitor ongoing player improvement and compare athletes throughout their organization.

In return, the NSCAA has agreed to endorse T4 Soccer as its “Official and Exclusive Physical Performance Testing Partner” on its website and through communication to its membership.

NSCAA CEO and Executive Director, Joe Cummings, commented, “The NSCAA is committed to soccer coaching education and to providing our membership with cutting-edge resources to improve player and team performance. Physical performance is a critical aspect of the game and, with T4, we have the ability to provide our member coaches with an understanding of how to measure and track performance effectively. We are pleased to add T4 Soccer to our elite roster of strategic partners and look forward to our affiliation with them for many years to come.”

Mark Shearer, T4 CEO and founder, commented, “We are pleased and honored to have the NSCAA enter into this agreement with us. It demonstrates the NSCAA’s belief in the integrity of our performance testing protocol and affirms their commitment to advancing education and testing in the sport of soccer as a whole. This is a giant leap forward for T4 as we continue to seek ways to use our scientifically based testing protocol and score analysis system to help soccer organizations, teams, coaches and players monitor, evaluate, track and compare player performance.”
