Soccer Leaders Unite To Share Knowledge & Advice
#SoccerCoachesSummit2020 #CoachesAgainstCOVID
The beautiful game may be on a global pause, but nothing’s going to stop coaches from sharing their love of the game.
The online Soccer Coaches Summit expects to have nearly 100 speakers and thousands of participants. Attendees will be able to learn directly from elite, world-class soccer coaches, trainers, and clinicians through a series of live one-hour seminars, presentations, and Q & A sessions.
A non-profit organization, America SCORES, is connecting coaches all across America, offering a free week long soccer program open to everyone in the soccer community including coaches, players, fans, friends, and family.
Colin Schmidt, Chief Executive Officer of America SCORES Bay Area believes this is the right time for unity.
“The problem is that the game has paused. Coaches, the lifeblood of the sport, are sidelined,” said Schmidt. “We have tens of thousands of coaches stuck on their couches. How can we unite coaches? How can we inspire and inform them?”
America SCORES’ solution is to connect, inform and inspire coaches around the country online with a creative symposium; coaches helping coaches during a period of intense isolation and hardship. “It’s like ‘We are the World’ or perhaps #LadyGaga’s ‘ONE WORLD: TOGETHER TO END CORONAVIRUS’, but with a whiteboard and Xs and Os,” said Schmidt.

Schmidt, working with Hamza Al Haidari, Alicia Yanow and Jonathan Denholtz, has assembled an all-star lineup of speakers who truly represent the depth and diversity of soccer in America have agreed to donate their time for live one-hour sessions.
The lineup speakers include Bob Bradley – MLS’s LAFC head coach and former U.S. Men’s National Team head coach from 2006 – 2011, Anson Dorrance – University of North Carolina head coach and former U.S. Women’s National Team head coach from 1986 – 1994, Lynn Berling-Manuel – CEO of United Soccer Coaches, Keith Tozer – World of Futsal Host and U.S. Men’s National Futsal Team for more than two decades, Tracy Hamm – UC Davis’ head coach, Paul Holocher – Academy Director for MLS club Houston Dynamo, Mike Noonan – Clemson head coach, Dan Woog – coach and writer, Brad Rothenberg – co-founder of Alianza de Fútbol, Owen Finberg – Director of Athletics at South Kent School and Lorrie Fair Allen – the youngest member of the 1999 Women’s World Cup Champion U.S. squad.

Most of the session formats are pretty straight forward: 30-40 minutes of talking with or without a PowerPoint and 20-30 minutes of Q&A.
America SCORES’s mission is to provide high-quality soccer and poetry programs free of charge to some of the most vulnerable communities across the country.
The non-profit started in DC after the 1994 World Cup. Currently, they are serving 13,000 students, in 12 cities, in partnership with 311 low-income public schools. Donation to America SCORES are welcome. 100% of proceeds go to support America SCORES free soccer programs for low-income youth across the country.
