Unified Youth Calendar
In support of the Shared & Scaled Infrastructure pillar of our U.S. Way strategy, U.S. Soccer has introduced a 2-year, rolling youth domestic calendar in collaboration with our member organizations to enhance scheduling transparency and coordination across all pre-professional youth events. We want young players to participate in both key club events and U.S. Soccer YNT or Talent ID camps, gaining valuable experience and benefits from both.
Our goal is to proactively raise awareness of all youth events, avoid calendar conflicts, and facilitate early resolution conversations when overlaps arise. The release and maintenance of the Unified Youth Calendar will deliver:
After meeting with national member organizations and other key stakeholders to gather schedule data and design a process for managing the calendar and resolving conflicts, we launched beta testing of the Unified Youth Calendar in 2025. We are actively collaborating with member organizations and leagues to test the platform and gather feedback.
The full calendar will be available on ussoccer.com following beta testing, with access details shared via the U.S. Soccer member newsletter. To ensure continued effectiveness, we will host quarterly external reviews to address potential scheduling conflicts and implement regular platform updates based on user feedback.
