Coaches Experience
. By partnering with the USSF, coaches currently holding their U.S. Soccer "A" License were given the opportunity to earn Continuing Education Credits toward renewing their license. This is made possible through participation in an advanced offering of Coaches Experience, incorporating Sporting KC senior team and Academy teams’ training sessions, as well as breakout presentations with U.S. Soccer staff.
All coaches in the Sporting Club Network will have access to purchase an exclusive package including tickets to that week's Sporting KC home game, as well as access to the senior team sessions and opportunities to learn from members of the Sporting KC senior team's technical staff. More details on this exciting news will be released in the coming weeks.
