This is a massive union just finalized but first made public at the most recent convention. It will span a number of years as Verizon becomes the the Wireless Technology & 5G parter of the largest coaches group on the planet. Verizon is well aware of the vitality of coaches in their communities and thusly have entered into this grassroots agreement to link with these coaches at all levels.
Lynn Berling-Manuel CEO of USC stated "We're honored to have Verizon make this kind of multi-year commitment to United Soccer Coaches. They understand coaches are a multiplier. Our thousands of members impact millions of players and families. And coaches are excited to support he companies that invest in their passion."

From the Convention: Verizon was the presenting partner of the new Innovation Hub. It afforded firms an opportunity to spolight new soccer technology to those there via demos and unique branded kiosks. The Verizon 5G Ultrawide network was further exposed to all as it is now in more than 30 cities nation wide, showing how it will benefit the game and coaches as both advance.
HS & College Rankings: The USC rankings of both are now sponsored by Verizon. In the college game they cover all from NCAA of the men women teams, NAIA & JUCO. For high school, they will cover the top teams in both boys and girls over the fall, winter and spring seasons.
Multi-Channel Content: Verizon will now sponsor and support "From the Training Ground" a weekly learning emailed program headed by the USC Education Dept. With this new backing, it will still of course be in the weekly email, the Soccer Journal, social media and its own place in the Online Resource Library.
