Featuring 46 clubs from 19 states around the country, these organizations have proven their commitment to providing a holistic club soccer experience for parents and players, which emphasizes the development of each individual to his or her full potential, and helps parents make better choices about where their children should play. As youth soccer’s “Good Housekeeping Seal,” they immediately take this newfound recognition into their communities and nationally, standing out as pioneers in improving the club soccer experience.

In addition to United Futbol Academy, these clubs have met the rigorous Players First standards of offering comprehensive club development, coaching development, player development, parent engagement and education, and player health and safety.

These 46 clubs enjoy Players First licensing status through Dec. 31, 2020, at which time there will be a renewal opportunity. Applications are accepted on an ongoing basis and approved clubs will be announced quarterly.
