5/7/14
WDMSC Members--
Two of Iowa’s most iconic youth soccer clubs, West Des Moines Soccer
Club, and Johnston Urbandale Soccer Club have joined forces with
Sporting Kansas City to form the tenth Academy Affiliate in the Sporting
Club Network and the only one in the state of Iowa. In a unique
partnership, the two clubs will join their boys and girls U17 and U18
programs under the new brand Sporting Iowa, with plans to expand to
additional age groups over time. This monumental undertaking will
provide boys and girls of both clubs the pinnacle of player development,
by defining a clear path from recreational play all the way to the
collegiate and professional ranks of the game, including MLS (Major
League Soccer)!
Our mission at WDMSC is to provide our players with an unparalleled
experience and in order to do this we must continue to explore ways to
make our staff and player development programming even more complete.
Our partnerships with Sporting KC gives us the ability to provide our
membership with a more comprehensive and vertically integrated player
pathway. A critical part of helping our players reach their goals and
potential. This relationship with SKC, as well as our collaborative
partnership with JUSC at the older age groups, allows us to assist
players in their pursuits to be the very best that they can be and help
us lead the way in Iowa.
We are extremely excited for the future opportunities this will
provide our players and coaches in our communities and across the state
of Iowa.
Stay tuned for more information coming soon!
