We are excited to announce a new partnership between Nashville United Soccer Academy and Shelbyville Football Club, two organizations committed to driving positive change in youth soccer in Middle Tennessee and advancing our shared values. This collaboration is a testament to our mutual dedication to keeping access to professional training affordable and accessible for our families and those in the surrounding community as well as our mission to create a fun and positive learning environment focused on the personal growth and development of all players.
Through this partnership, Shelbyville Football Club will benefit from the following opportunities:
- In person and online coaching education provided by NUSA for Shelbyville coaching staff
- Access to professional and age group appropriate curriculum & session plans
- Access to parent education and other club resources at NUSA
- Guest playing opportunities for Shelbyville players with NUSA and for NUSA players with Shelbyville
- A pathway for selected Shelbyville players to compete at the highest level of youth soccer in the United States.
- Combined community and outreach initiatives between the organizations
All decisions regarding guest playing opportunities between the organizations and any opportunities for players selected from Shelbyville to train or play with NUSA on the MLS Next or GA player pathway will be determined together by the leadership from both organizations.
By combining our strengths, expertise, and resources, we aim to create solutions that address the challenges facing our communities and further grow the sport of soccer in Nashville and the surrounding communities!
