(This series is the documentation of a 365-day project to help develop more local and regional soccer clubs in Maine, help improve the connectivity among new and existing local and regional clubs in Maine, and cultivate a more purposeful and accessible local --> regional --> state developmental pathway for all of Maine's soccer stakeholders.)
Today's work focused on both vertical and horizontal growth.
First, met with the president and the executive director of the U.S. Adult Soccer Association (USASA) via Zoom. This meeting is part of the newly-elected president's effort to host one-on-one meetings with each state association, and the focus was on how we can continue to develop our 23U programming.
And then met with two directors of a couple different clubs located in southern Maine. It was a good start to what hopefully will be an ongoing discussion on how to formalize and strengthen a local, regional, and state developmental pathway here in Maine. Also clarified informal networks among a few clubs that already exist, which will ensure the spreadsheets featuring demographics and other info for towns, high school programs, local clubs, and regional clubs are more accurate.
