The big news out of these meetings is that money usually earmarked for the Innovate to Grow Fund will go to member groups impacted by the Corona Virus Crisis. These dollars are now destined for the US Soccer's Covid-19 Relief Fund, so away with the grants being done in the fall of 2020 and now the money will go to member groups other than pro leagues from $7,500- $15,000. What may the monies be used for? Instructor fees, support the carrying out of coach & ref courses, Covid related procurment and prevention supplies along with office operating expenses.
