Soccer is the most played sport in the world with over 240 million participants around the globe. It is also the fastest growing sport in the United States. Although the history of the sport in the United States, in both an amateur and professional capacity, dates back decades, it is still not fully understood and appreciated. Many viewers do not understand the complexities, strategies, and rules of the beautiful game. With the next FIFA World Cup set to be co-hosted by the United States in 2026, this course will help members appreciate the sport before the international spotlight arrives on our shores.
This course will meet in person July 3, 10, 17, 24, and 31.
