New coaching content from Major League Soccer and TeamSnap to bring next-level training and coach education to competitive youth soccer nationwide

CHICAGO and NEW YORK, Aug. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- TeamSnap, the #1 youth sports management platform, and Major League Soccer today announced an exclusive new training curriculum in the TeamSnap app. The partnership expands access to high-quality training resources for youth soccer players, coaches, and families across the country. 

This new curriculum features training content from MLS NEXT, the most elite platform for youth player development in North America. The curriculum offers custom soccer drill videos and in-depth practice plans, leveraging the developmentally and age-appropriate, tactical and strategic coaching philosophy of MLS NEXT, which serves players U13-U19. This launch builds on individual training videos from MLS GO, for recreational players ages 4-14, as well as more advanced at-home training from MLS NEXT, launched earlier this spring.

The all-new MLS NEXT drills and practice plans are available exclusively on TeamSnap's platforms, including TeamSnap, MOJO, and the company's most cutting-edge app, TeamSnap ONE.

"Major League Soccer's partnership with TeamSnap represents another important step in our commitment to growing the game by making high-quality coaching resources more accessible to families, players, and coaches across the country," said Ali Curtis, EVP of Sporting Development, MLS, and President, MLS NEXT Pro. "Whether it's fun, engaging exercises that introduce young players to the game through MLS GO or advanced tactical sessions and comprehensive training plans from MLS NEXT that reflect the highest standards of player development, we share a common goal: empowering every player with the skills, confidence, and inspiration to reach their full potential while fostering a lifelong love of the game."

Soccer coaches for teams U13 and older can now find MLS NEXT-level training in the TeamSnap app. The latest curriculum was produced at the San Diego Soccer Academy, home of San Diego FC, MLS's newest franchise, and features competitive soccer players from across Southern California, as well as coaches affiliated with MLS.

"Our partnership with Major League Soccer just keeps getting better," said Peter Frintzilas, CEO of TeamSnap. "Together, MLS and TeamSnap have brought the very best to our robust soccer audience. By putting the powerful tools and insights from some of the best coaches and teams in North America into the hands of our users, everywhere, together, we are truly elevating the game."

TeamSnap first partnered with Major League Soccer in 2023, after TeamSnap's acquisition of MOJO Sports. In addition to Major League Soccer, TeamSnap partners with Major League Baseball, Jr. NBA/Jr. WNBA, NFL FLAG and Premier Lacrosse League – as well as non-pro league entities such as Positive Coaching Alliance and Nike – to equip coaches, parents and players of the biggest youth sports in the U.S. with everything they need to run an unforgettable season, right at their fingertips. The MLS NEXT curriculum is the latest addition to a library of custom training videos and related resources that spans soccer, baseball, softball, flag football, basketball, lacrosse, ice hockey and volleyball.
