US Club Soccer and GotSoccer have entered into a partnership to facilitate the growth and development of both organizations. Under the agreement, US Club Soccer's National Cup Championship becomes one of the key barometers by which youth teams, clubs, and tournaments are ranked by GotSoccer. In addition, other US Club Soccer programs and information will be featured on the GotSoccer site and email newsletters.

"This marketing partnership allows for us to have a broader reach for US Club Soccer, the fastest growing soccer organization on the country. It will facilitate our communication to soccer clubs, coaches, players, and parents about the growing programs available to our members", said Bill Sage, US Club Soccer Executive Director.

GotSoccer founder, Gavin Owen-Thomas, said, "It's a great match. GotSoccer has set the standard in its field, dedicated to identifying the best in club soccer - and US Club Soccer is providing a vehicle to meet that goal. I think by working together we can both get stronger. I'm excited to be working with some of the country's top soccer innovators."

In addition US Club Soccer will utilize a tournament software tool specifically designed by GotSoccer, and will make it available to US Club Soccer members at a discounted price.
