2020 SOCCER CHAMPIONS COACHES' CLINIC AT THE MOHEGAN SUN CONVENTION CENTER - UNCASVILLE, CT

Welcome to the 2020 Soccer Champions Coaches’ Clinic at Mohegan Sun! It’s hard to believe that this is our 18th year of bringing soccer coaches together to collaborate and learn.

Over the years, we’ve enjoyed such a dynamic range of presenters, including Bruce Arena, Julie Foudy, the late Dick Bate, the late Sigi Schmid, Anson Dorrance, Amanda Cromwell and Erica Dambach, and, of course, our Clinic co-founder and great friend Tony DiCicco, whose passing we continue to mourn. Each of these coaches has inspired countless players, fans and coaches. Each was incredibly generous about sharing his/her knowledge with us. And each exhibited a passion for continuous learning, an openness to new approaches and ideas, and a drive for excellence that extends beyond the sport.

This year brings a new and exciting crop of presenters who likewise share these characteristics. We are so excited to welcome them all, including United Soccer Coaches Director of Coaching Education Ian Barker, Two-Time NCAA Women’s National Champion Coach Mark Krikorian, Certified Mental Performance Consultant Dr. Tiffany Jones, two of college soccer’s rising coaching stars from two of the nation’s top programs - Wake Forest’s Men’s Coach Bobby Muuss and Notre Dame’s Men’s Coach Chad Riley, Past Southampton FC Coach & New Hartford Athletic Coach Radhi Jaïdi, U.S. Futsal National Staff Coach Everson Maciel, and World-Renowned Goalkeeper Coach Dan Gaspar, who coached in two World Cups, among others.

Many of you are returning coaches. We hope that means we’re doing something right. For others, this is your first year here. We welcome you into the SCCC fold. You all should be commended on your decision to spend the next two days here, focused on becoming better at what you do and growing the game. We know getting away can be hard. We hope while you’re here, you’ll make some new connections, learn a lot, and have a really good time.

We appreciate the support of our partners, including the United Soccer Coaches, the Connecticut Junior Soccer Association, and the United States Futsal Federation. We also thank our major sponsors for their support, including the Mohegan Sun Resort Casino, adidas, Soccer & Rugby, Jaypro Sports, Traveling Teams, the Ray Reid Soccer School, and The Coaches’ Insider. We thank all our attending exhibitors and encourage you to spend some quality time in our Exhibitor Zone.

To get the most out of the event, don’t forget to download our interactive event app to keep track of sessions and receive up-to-date schedule changes, news and announcements.

In closing, we hope you enjoy this year’s Clinic; and we sincerely welcome your input on making next year’s Soccer Champions Coaches’ Clinic even better.

Yours in soccer and coaching,

Ray Reid Rick Orluk
