#723: Mike Woitalla on a “defining moment” in American youth soccer
About this episode
Mike Woitalla discusses the integration of U.S. Youth Soccer into U.S. Soccer and its implications for American youth soccer.
U.S. Youth Soccer, the organization under which 2.5 million kids play across the country, will be integrated into U.S. Soccer. Doesn't seem too meaningful on its face but it's major news across the grassroots and development landscapes. Mike Woitalla, the executive editor of Soccer America, joins Belz to walk through it. J.T. Batson called it a "defining moment," but it turns out, as with many things, the defining moments will be the quiet ones, behind the scenes, over the next several years.
