NEBRASKA STATE SOCCER AND THE SOCCER PARENTING ASSOCIATION ANNOUNCE PARTNERSHIP TO IMPROVE SIDELINE BEHAVIOR AND PROVIDE EDUCATION AND GUIDANCE TO YOUTH SOCCER CLUBS AND PARENTS

OMAHA, NEBRASKA – Nebraska State Soccer and the Soccer Parenting Association today announce a partnership agreement to improve youth soccer in Nebraska by providing parents and clubs with discounted access to the SoccerParentResourceCenter.com – a youth soccer parent and coach education platform.  Additionally, Nebraska State Soccer is announced as a Sideline Project Partner (TheSidelineProject.com) and will encourage all parents, coaches, referees, spectators, and caregivers to join The Sideline Project movement and take The Sideline Project Pledge.

The Soccer Parenting Association seeks to improve the experience and development of youth soccer players by improving sideline behavior and engaging, supporting, and educating youth soccer parents and coaches.

“The most important part of our mission is to create a safe and fun environment for our youth players to enjoy the game of soccer,” said Casey Mann, Executive Director of Nebraska State Soccer. “To make that a reality, we need our sidelines to be a place of encouragement and joy. The Soccer Parenting Association and The Sideline Project have created a wonderful site full of resources to help all of our soccer parents and coaches be the best version of a youth soccer spectator on game day and we are excited to bring those to our members.”

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 Nebraska State Soccer is making towards positively affecting the lives of soccer players, families and dedicated coaches in Nebraska is commendable.  We are proud to work with Nebraska State Soccer and are encouraged by their commitment to improving the youth soccer landscape in the state.” said Skye Eddy, Founder of the Soccer Parenting Association.
