Youth Club Affiliate Program
The Philadelphia Independence is excited to announce the Youth Club Affiliate Program. This program will provide local youth soccer clubs with opportunities for involvement with the Philadelphia Independence, exciting and beneficial group activities, and cost savings. Philadelphia and its surrounding communities have a very rich history in youth soccer, and during the 2011 season, many soccer clubs, teams, players, coaches, and parents were involved with the Independence. Because of that, the Independence wants to continue to provide exclusive benefits to area clubs that have supported the team in the past, as well as in the future.
The Independence is in a position to provide local youth clubs with access to great coaches and professional-athlete role models. The program ensures that club affiliates receive up-to-date team news about the franchise and its players, invitations to United Sports Training Center - the official training center of the Philadelphia Independence, home game involvement, and ticket kickbacks for the club.
Don't miss the opportunity to sign up and get your club's soccer players, coaches, and families involved in the growth of the Independence and Women's Professional Soccer. Please send any inquiries regarding the Youth Club Affiliate Program to info@wpsphillyindependence.com.
