USCSA Announces Addition of Florida Youth Soccer Association
The USCSA is excited to announce the addition of Florida Youth Soccer Association, now representing more than one million players and coaches.
The United States Consortium of State Associations (USCSA) is excited to announce its expansion to include two additional member state associations, bringing its current total membership to 16 state associations representing more than one million players.
The newly accepted members include:
The USCSA believes that State Associations can provide an anchor in the local soccer communities by providing exceptional service, resources and inspiration that grows soccer participation by unlocking the potential within every community. Traditionally, each State Association has its own governance, policies and procedures, and resources, which limits the ability to scale and incorporate efficient solutions. The USCSA aims to expand its influence, reduce costs and enhance services by scaling operations together. The organization wants to evolve the traditional model by integrating business strategies and shared resources to increase efficiency and effectiveness of its State Association members. To maximize its success and potential, the USCSA relies on its core values: Trust, Innovation, Compromise and Alignment.
“We are excited to work with the Consortium so we can help each other and each state association reach more youth soccer players within our communities as we grow the game across the country,” said Jennifer Pfeiffer, Executive Director of Alabama Soccer Association. “We believe it is great to have like minds in the state associations so we can continue to work towards similar goals and objectives.”
Alabama Soccer Association (ASA) is a non-profit and educational organization whose mission is to foster the physical, mental and emotional growth of players of all ages by creating and increasing opportunities for wholesome participation. ASA has a current membership of over 20,000 registered players statewide for youth, 2,100 adult and approximately 3,500 active coaches, volunteers and administrators.
“Joining the United States Consortium of State Associations means aligning with a collective goal that transforms individual efforts into nationwide impact,” said Melissa Zielinski, Executive Director of Wisconsin Youth Soccer Association. “This group unites diverse perspectives to shape a stronger future for our game, and I am thrilled to be a part of that.”
Wisconsin Youth Soccer Association (WYSA) is the governing body for youth soccer in the State of Wisconsin. Affiliated with U.S. Youth Soccer and the United States Soccer Federation, WYSA is dedicated to promoting and growing the sport of soccer across the state.
“I am excited about working with the USCSA and partnering Georgia State Soccer Association’s resources with them to help develop and grow the game of soccer for all youth and adults involved in the game,” said Jim Walker, Executive Director of Georgia State Soccer Association. “Georgia State Soccer Association is the authorized state youth and adult association for Georgia within the United States Adult Soccer Association, United States Youth Soccer Association, and through them is part of the United States Soccer Federation (USSF). Also, Georgia State Soccer Association serves as the official National State Association of USSF and has approximately 45,000 members.”
USCSA President Evan Dabby, who is also the Executive Director of New Jersey Youth Soccer, voiced his excitement in adding Alabama Soccer Association and Wisconsin Youth Soccer Association to the organization.
“The USCSA is thrilled to add these new members, and we know their expertise will help accelerate our efforts,” said Dabby. “Specifically, this expansion will enhance our efforts leveraging these individuals’ experience and build upon our team’s successes.”
