Sometimes you don’t fully realize the positive assets you have in the USA soccer culture, change is hard but good.

The goal isn’t to rewrite college soccer, it’s to renew it.

We have a tremendous opportunity to make college soccer the best U-23 league in the world, strengthening development for both our Men’s and Women’s National Teams.
It’s one of our country’s unique advantages and a vital part of how we’ll keep developing world-class players.
