SCUFC AND THE SOCCER PARENTING ASSOCIATION ANNOUNCE PARTNERSHIP PROVIDING SUPPORT AND EDUCATION TO YOUTH SOCCER PARENTS

South Carolina United FC and the Soccer Parenting Association today announce a partnership agreement by which all families associated with SCUFC will now receive free access to the educational content on the Soccer Parent Resource Center platform – SoccerParentResourceCenter.com.


The Soccer Parent Resource Center seeks to improve and enhance the experience for youth soccer players by engaging and supporting the players’ parents on topics related to the Body, Mind, Coach, Parent, Next Level, and the Game as well as providing coach education related to establishing positive relationships with players and parents.


Providing a positive youth sporting experience where all children feel inspired, develop important life skills, and establish healthy habits they will take with them for life must be a top priority for all youth sport organizations. 


“The investment South Carolina United FC is making towards positively affecting the lives of the players and families associated with their club is commendable. We are proud to work with SCUFC and are encouraged by their commitment to make a positive impact in their community through sport,” said Skye Eddy, Founder of the Soccer Parenting Association.

YOUTH SOCCER CLUB STEPS UP TO ADDRESS NATIONWIDE SHORTAGE OF OFFICIALS

By sjernigan • August 30, 2021
In an effort to combat the ongoing nationwide shortage of referees, South Carolina United FC recently organized and hosted two one-day referee clinics. These clinics were a huge success, with 60 people attending and becoming certified referees.  Prior to attending the clinic, all participants were required to complete online training modules to ensure they were well-prepared for the in-person clinics. The in-person clinics were broken into 2 parts: a classroom session and an on-field training session held at South Carolina United FC facilities. To encourage registration and maximize participation, South Carolina United FC offered an exciting incentive to the first 50 individuals who signed up. These individuals received a complimentary referee uniform starter kit, equipping them with everything they need to start their refereeing journey. “As the demand for referees continues to rise, we feel it is our responsibility to address the shortage and provide opportunities for interested individuals to become certified referees,” commented Rob Strickland, SCUFC Executive Director. “We are proud to have organized these successful clinics and remain committed to supporting the growth of soccer in our community.” For more information about how to become a referee and future clinics, please visit screferees.com. You must be 13 years or older to register for a referee clinic.
