Founded in 2011, WeCOACH focuses on the recruitment, advancement and retention of women coaches in all sports and levels through professional growth and leadership development programs. Three years ago, WeCOACH – formerly known as the Alliance of Women Coaches – launched its flagship initiative “MOVE the NUMBERS” to improve the landscape for women coaches and the student athletes they lead, noting “if she can see her, she can be her.”

US Club Soccer has invested significantly in its coach membership base, providing member women coaches with complimentary WeCOACH memberships. Coaches can engage in numerous programs offered by WeCOACH and build their personal networks. Member women coaches who don’t currently have a membership can email at wecoach@usclubsoccer.org to gain access.

DICK’S Sporting Goods, a long-time US Club Soccer partner since Spring 2019, is well integrated in youth soccer with participation in US Club Soccer’s “Bigger Than Soccer” initiative and various education and development efforts. Those efforts include co-sponsoring scholarships for the WeCOACH Youth & High School Women Coaches Academy, as well as being the presenting sponsor of US Club Soccer’s Foundational Playbooks, which are robust resources for new and seasoned coaches alike.
