US Club Soccer Expands Players First Partners with Kimet Sport and Soccer Parenting Association
(CHARLESTON, S.C.) – US Club Soccer – a prominent member of the U.S. Soccer Federation and the leading organization developing soccer clubs across America – expands its Players First partners by adding Kimet Sport and the Soccer Parenting Association.
LaLiga/Kimet Planning – Kimet Sport’s comprehensive software platform designed by LaLiga Formation Methodology lead instructor Gari Fullaondo – emerged as a vital tool for participating coaches to implement the training methodology introduced over a full season. As a Players First partner, all US Club Soccer member clubs and coaches will receive discounted access to a Kimet Sport license.
“US Club Soccer believes in the fundamental principle that any attempt to develop better players requires an effort to first develop better coaches,” says Kevin Payne, US Club Soccer CEO. “We can think of no better approach from which to learn than the LaLiga method of developing players. Gari’s long history with Athletic Bilbao, in particular, makes him uniquely qualified to help our coaches, and the Kimet software is a critical tool for coaches to better create the best possible training environment for all players.”
The Soccer Parenting Association – through its multiple platforms, including MySoccerParenting.com – will provide support, education and resources to parents of youth soccer athletes to help them excel on the field and in life. The expansive educational assets include articles, exclusive interviews, online courses, webinars, e-books, Q&As, a “Soccer Talk” feature for specific guidance and a private Facebook community.
“The Players First pillar of Parent Engagement & Education is a crucial part of the Players First philosophy,” added Payne. “What makes the Soccer Parenting Association unique is the amount of personalized content within the platform and its focus completely on parents. It’s an educational environment that maintains a dialogue with parents that will ultimately lead to better experiences for players, coaches and clubs.”
