At the United Soccer Association, we are clear on our support of the US Womens National Team. It is easy to criticize a team when it is down on its luck, but the fact is the success of the United States Women's National Soccer Team (USWNT) is a story of both sporting achievement and cultural impact. The USWNT has achieved remarkable success on the international stage, winning numerous titles and breaking records. Here are some key highlights:
1. World Cup Success:
The USWNT has won the FIFA Women's World Cup four times: in 1991, 1999, 2015, and 2019. The 2015 victory was particularly significant as it highlighted the team's dominance and showcased its ability to consistently perform at the highest level.
2. Olympic Dominance:
The USWNT has won four Olympic gold medals in women's soccer: in 1996, 2004, 2008, and 2012. They won the bronze medal in 2020.
3. Record-Breaking Players:
The USWNT has produced some of the most iconic and skilled soccer players in the history of the sport, such as Mia Hamm, Abby Wambach, Hope Solo, Carli Lloyd, Alex Morgan, Megan Rapinoe, and more. Players like Abby Wambach and Carli Lloyd have set records for goals scored in international tournaments.
4. Cultural Impact:
The USWNT's success has transcended sports and sparked important discussions about gender equality, pay equity, and women's empowerment. The team's outspokenness on social and political issues, as well as their advocacy for equal pay and LGBTQ+ rights, has positioned them as powerful advocates for change.
5. Equal Pay Campaign:
One of the most prominent aspects of the USWNT's impact is their fight for equal pay. The players have been advocating for equal compensation and treatment compared to the U.S. Men's National Soccer Team (USMNT), highlighting the gender pay gap in sports.
6. Inspiration for Future Generations: The USWNT's success has inspired countless young girls and women to pursue soccer and other sports, breaking down gender stereotypes and encouraging female athletes to dream big.

We want to increase the participation of girls' soccer in our clubs. The fact is that in US Soccer, nothing compares to the achievements of the women's teams. Girls who play soccer often experience increased self-confidence and a positive self-image as they develop their skills and contribute to their team's success. Playing soccer provides girls with a multitude of benefits that extend far beyond the field. It fosters personal growth, teamwork, leadership, and a sense of empowerment, contributing to their holistic development as strong, capable individuals. The United Soccer Association has many clubs offering the opportunity for girls to play at all levels. Join a team today!

One of the things we hear a lot from players is how they wished they understood a little bit about the different positions they could specialize in. You may like strikers Ronaldo or Messi, but you might want to try out other positions that you may be better suited for. Today, we'll talk about goalies:
The goalkeeper's primary role is to prevent the opposing team from scoring goals by stopping shots on goal and organizing the defense. They are the only player allowed to use their hands within their penalty area.

Enough is enough. Think of the harm being done to the children. We need the cooperation from ALL the parents.
In a 1v1 interview, England, Tottenham, Leicester, and FC Barcelona LEGEND, Gary Lineker, the topic of soccer parents came up and Lineker pulled no punches in his remarks. "Parents standing in the sidelines getting carried away, shouting and bawling instructions and 99.9% of what they say is wrong…it’s instilling fear".
This type of behavior from the sidelines puts SERIOUS pressure on young players and inhibits their chances of making it. Kids should play soccer with joy and expression, not fear and pressure. Interferences from the sideline undermine the coach’s work and are extremely harmful to the progress of the team as a whole. The United Soccer Association does not tolerate this kind of behavior. Please help us do better during our games.

Ya basta. Piensen en el daño que se les está haciendo a los niños. Necesitamos la cooperación de TODOS los padres.
En una entrevista con la LEYENDA, Gary Lineker, de Inglaterra, Tottenham, Leicester y FC Barcelona , surgió el tema de el compartimiento de los padres durante los juegos de fútbol y Lineker no se anduvo con rodeos en sus comentarios. "Los padres gritando y vociferando instrucciones y el 99,9% de lo que dicen está mal... está infundiendo miedo".
Este tipo de comportamiento desde el banquillo ejerce una presión GRAVE sobre los jugadores jóvenes e inhibe sus posibilidades de triunfar. Los niños deben jugar al fútbol con alegría y expresión, no con miedo y presión. Las interferencias desde la banda perjudican el trabajo del entrenador y son extremadamente perjudiciales para el progreso del equipo en su conjunto. La United Soccer Association no tolera este tipo de comportamiento. Por favor ayúdenos a evitar esta conducta durante nuestros juegos.
