MM  USTC: ABOUT

What makes soccer, (aka as football, fútbol, fussball, voetbal) the most popular sport in the world? What drives millions and millions of fans to the stadiums?

Young and old alike are mesmerized watching players do the impossible, the unexpected, the unimaginable!

The players are what make the game so special. Players like Cruyff, Pele, Ronaldinho, CR7, Maradona, Zidane, Messi. Female players like Marta, Mia Hamm, Morgan, Lloyd remind us why we love the game!

​

Meulensteen Method is passionate about the development of technical, creative, and confident players. Our founder and skills specialist extraordinair, Rene Meulensteen, paves the way for young players to develop the above mentioned traits. To provide insight and access to Rene's methodology, we designed a unique and one of a kind event: the United States Technical Championship!

​

The United States Technical Championships is a technical skill soccer competition, and the only event of its kind in North America. The USTC is designed to educate players on the technical skills necessary to dominate their opponent. The competition consists of two main components, practical and application. In the practical component, players are educated on the four 1v1 situations and the skills needed to dominate them. In the application component, participants compete in various small sided games and are encouraged to show their creativity, confidence, and personality .  Participants are maximizing their time on the ball in a positive, yet challenging environment. Meulensteen Method and partner organizations run regional events and those players who "Make the Difference"  are identified and invited to attend the National Finals.
