+ US Soccer Grassroots 11v11
This year we are partnering with the Tennessee State Soccer Association and US Soccer to offer the US Grassroots 11v11 educational course. Normally a $65 value, our partnership allows you to take this course for just $25, when taken in conjunction with participation in the Coaching Academy. If you would like to participate, indicate your interest on the Coaching Academy registration page and you will receive instructions for claiming your discounted 11v11 course registration.
Host Site
Trevecca University
All field sessions and speaking sessions will be hosted on the campus of Trevecca Nazarene University. Trevecca is a private Christian liberal arts college competing at the NCAA DII level, and is located just two miles outside of downtown Nashville.
What makes us different?
A lot of coaches go to conventions each year to learn the X’s and O’s from the best in their sport and to network with other coaches.
Some coaches might even go to leadership or culture conventions to learn different principles...
What if you could do BOTH in the same place?
What if you could do it within a Christian community?
You Can!
So, what will you get from attending the Coaching Academy?
KINGDOM-CENTERED. Know your unique calling and live-out the Great Commission as a soccer coach.
CONNECTING. Build deep, lasting relationships with other like-minded coaches.
EQUIPPING. Gain resources, learn, and develop yourself so that you have more to invest in your staff and team.
IMPACTING. Create a philosophy and implement a values-based program based on an eternal perspective and where investment truly matters.
