Annual Symposium

Urban Soccer Collaborative LogoUrban Soccer Symposium (April 21-23) Washington, DC

Presented by: the U.S. Soccer Foundation and the Urban Soccer Collaborative

DATE: April 21 – 23, 2010
VENUE: Gaylord National Convention Center, 201 Waterfront Street, National Harbor, MD 20745

The U.S. Soccer Foundation and the Urban Soccer Collaborative joined forces to develop strategies, practices, and resources that will yield measurable and sustainable results among the populations of children we serve. This annual event is designed to help develop new programs and strengthen already existing ones who are using soccer as a tool for youth development in under-resourced communities. This Symposium is the only national event that provides resources, trainings, information, and networking opportunities specifically addressing the issues facing these programs.

The 2010 Symposium focused on the question: "How can we use soccer to intentionally improve the physical health and wellness of under-resourced youth?" and includes sessions on how to increase physical fitness, achieve acquisition of nutritional knowledge, and produce positive food choice behavior by doing what you already do.

Panels included continued education in the fields of Fundraising, Strategic Planning, Event Planning, Partnership Development, Coaching Education, Life Skills Programming, and Measurements and Evaluations.
