“As one of our Premium Partners, there is a real commitment from both sides to creating meaningful opportunities for players and coaches.

“YMS is one of the leading youth soccer clubs in the United States, and the quality of their people, their environment and their approach to player development really stands out.

“We’re excited to continue building on what we’ve achieved together and to take the partnership forward over the coming years.”

The extension also reflects the impact the partnership has had within the YMS community and the opportunities it has created for players, coaches and families.
