Resources

Iowa Soccer follows the U.S. Soccer Grassroots Play-Practice-Play Methodology.

  • U.S. Soccer developed and implemented the Play-Practice-Play methodology at the Grassroots level. Researched and developed by technical leaders, this player-centered approach allows coaches of all levels to help create training environments to fulfill the two basic needs of players of all ages: to have fun and to develop!
  • The Iowa Soccer lesson plans are organized by age group, game format, and training themes (i.e., attacking, defending).
