CYRL now participates in the US Club Soccer experience for parents and players, which emphasizes the development of each individual to his or her full potential, and helps parents make better choices about where their children should play. In order to help members adopt US Club Soccer, US Soccer provides a suite of best-in-class resources, which add value to clubs, coaches, parents and players. Chardon Youth Recreational League (CYRL) Soccer and Geauga Federation Soccer Club (GFSC) openly embrace and subscribe to the philosophies of US Club Soccer.

1. Club Development

Soccer clubs are the foundation on which American soccer will maximize growth and long-term success on the field. US Soccer provides an array of resources to aid in the growth and development of clubs.

2. Coaching Development

Clubs should encourage their coaches to continually seek out new educational opportunities, and US Soccer provides resources to help coaches to grow.

3. Player Development

US Soccer provides tools to clubs and coaches to encourage their players to individually invest in their own development.

4. Parent Engagement & Education

US Soccer provides a framework for parents to understand how to value their child’s soccer experience, replacing the reliance on match outcomes, which has served to hinder proper player development methodology.

5. Player Health & Safety

US Soccer provides resources to help clubs and coaches better ensure the health and safety of their players.

As a benefit of membership, soccer players, coaches, officials and other registered members receive excess participant accident medical and liability insurance coverage for their Covered Activities of US Club Soccer.
