The US Youth Soccer University is the first-ever gathering of educational resources designed to educate members on a multitude of subjects so they can perform better on and off the field of play. Georgia Soccer are currently implementing their bespoke instance of the University and will make it available for members over the coming months. With a mission to promote, grow and develop soccer in Georgia, the USYS University will create educational pathways not only for youth soccer players but also for the people that impact them the most. The University will bring together content from partners like TrueSport, Hospital for Special Surgery, Soccer Parenting, US Center for Safe Sport, Mojo and US Center for Mental Health and Sport. Alongside that, there will be a number of unique courses designed and developed by US Youth Soccer.
Georgia Soccer will leverage the national curriculum to offer a number of courses tailored to players, parents, coaches, administrators and officials.
The University has two subscription tiers, freemium which contains introductory courses and access to the platform, and premium, which also includes exclusive course content for $5 per annum. Learners will be able to sign up to the University and select the subscription model that best suits their needs.

“Centralizing all the content from the USYS University along with what we create specifically for Georgia is a great value add for our member Clubs & Leagues. Now there is one hub for educational resources and content for all saving our members time” said Laura Halfpenny, Executive Director.
