US Youth Soccer, the nation's largest youth sports association, is excited to kick off the ninth annual Youth Soccer Month - Celebrating Soccer in America on September 1, and the celebration continues throughout the month promoting the benefits of soccer.
"Youth Soccer Month is something we look forward to each year at US Youth Soccer," president of US Youth Soccer John Sutter said. "Soccer is a wonderful sport and has so much to offer, so we take great pride in promoting its many benefits, including fun, family, friendship and fitness. More American children play organized soccer than any other sport. This celebration furthers US Youth Soccer's mission to foster the physical, mental and emotional growth and development of America's youth through the sport of soccer at all levels of age and competition."
Youth Soccer Month 2011 includes working with local leadership to organize grassroots public affairs campaigns, numerous local events and media relations initiatives. In one such event, US Youth Soccer and the annual Youth Soccer Month celebration are proud to join in the Worldwide Day of Play this September. Worldwide Day of Play is an entire day dedicated to active play. US Youth Soccer and Youth Soccer Month will join other organizations seeking to impact youth health and fitness on Worldwide Day of Play on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. for a day of family-friendly activities hosted by the best in professional and youth sports, health and wellness and community partners.
