Youth Soccer 360

As the foundation's director, Julie Foudy brings high-profile visibility to the academy that bears her name. From what we saw at the NSCAA Convention is that Julie is more than just lending her name; she spoke and a couple hours each day at the foundation's trade show booth.

From their Website:
Our focus at the Julie Foudy Sports Leadership Academy will be to teach our students the ingredients it takes to be a leader on the field AND a leader in life. The Academy is designed for girls, ages 12-18. Our students will get the best of both worlds: they will learn soccer from some of the best women players in the world AND will be exposed to a multitude of leadership concepts they can cultivate for life.
