KANSAS CITY, Mo. (Nov. 1, 2019) —United Soccer Coaches is excited to announce a new educational partnership with the Connecticut Junior Soccer Association (CJSA). Through this collaborative partnership, CJSA members will receive educational resources and coaching education opportunities through United Soccer Coaches.

United Soccer Coaches will provide educational manuals and materials and the two associations will collaborate on educational offerings for CJSA members.

In addition, CJSA members will have the ability to become full United Soccer Coaches members at a discounted rate. Every CJSA member who attends a United Soccer Coaches non-residential course, and is not a current United Soccer Coaches member, will receive a free one-month trial membership as well.

“We’re excited to partner with the Connecticut Junior Soccer Association in the name of coach education,” said Ian Barker, United Soccer Coaches Director of Coaching Education. “The educational content and resources of United Soccer Coaches paired with the reach of the CJSA will help in better preparing coaches, which, in turn, means more fun and learning for young players. More fun and learning keeps players in the game.”

“CJSA is thrilled to partner with United Soccer Coaches, a leader in coaching education for the last 78 years,” said Josh Krusewski, Executive Director of CJSA. “We are excited about the benefits this will provide to our member clubs and coaches.”
