AYSO today extended its AYSO Soccer Camps agreement with UK International Soccer Camps (UKISC) through 2018, and also introduced UKISC as their Official Player Development Provider.

“This effort is designed to further energize AYSO’s commitment to Player Development and provide additional player and coach training solutions and resources to our Regions in the fast-moving youth soccer landscape,” said Scott Gimple, AYSO Director of Player Development.

“UK International has been an invaluable partner as AYSO Soccer Camps and we are delighted to expand this partnership to in-season paid soccer trainer options to complement and support our incredible volunteer base,” Gimple explained. “We have listened to our Regions’ needs, evaluated the entire soccer industry and responded with a professional offering our organization is familiar with. Making available professional development services for our players and volunteer coaches is a significant step by AYSO and we are confident the results will stimulate our organization in its entirety.”

AYSO Soccer Camps has worked with over 250,000 players, parents and coaches and contributed more than three quarters of a million dollars back to AYSO Regions throughout the nation. The partnership will also extend to volunteer coach education, parent and coach mentoring, player evaluations and AYSO Coach Certification courses.
