News:
The 4th Annual National Urban Soccer Symposium
Soccer: It Does the Body Good
presented by:
The Urban Soccer Collaborative and
The U.S. Soccer Foundation
April 21-April 23, 2010 | Washington, DC
IT'S TIME TO REGISTER!
REGISTER BEFORE MARCH 15 AND SAVE!
The Urban Soccer Symposium was created 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. Most importantly, you will walk away with practical strategies and practices that you
can use when you return to your organizations and programs.
The Urban Soccer Collaborative (USC) and The U.S. Soccer Foundation (Foundation) have joined forces to develop strategies, practices, and curriculum resources that will yield measurable and sustainable results among the populations of children we serve. This year's Symposium will focus on the question: "How can we use soccer to intentionally improve the physical health and wellness of under-resourced youth?" and include sessions on how to increase physical fitness, achieve
acquisition of nutritional knowledge, and produce positive food choice behavior by doing what you already do.
Together, we (the USC, the Foundation, and YOU) can make significant, measurable, and transformational changes in the lives of thousands of vulnerable youth. So, please join us April 21-23 for one of the most inspiring, engaging, informational, practical, and fun experiences you will have in 2010!
