Making a massive impact on youth soccer and our community
The Crew Network gives Delaware Knights players, coaches, and parents access to unique experiences and opportunities. Additionally, we receive technical benefits such as player training opportunities and access to the Crew’s coaching staff. Below are just a few of the benefits of being a Crew Network soccer club.
Player Benefits
As a Crew affiliate club our players get notified of unique training opportunities held by the Crew (e.g., Crew Futures Program held at the historic Crew stadium). Crew affiliate clubs are also tapped by Crew for the Crew’s Pre-Academy player nominations. A unique opportunity to be scouted by Crew Coaches and Scouts for their prestigious Youth Academy.
Family Benefits
Besides the obvious benefits from having your player train with and play for a club with collaborative ties to an MLS club, the Crew Network Affiliation also means that parents will be informed of selected special events in advance and before they book out. Discounts for certain special Crew events can also be offered at the Crew’s discretion.
Coach Benefits
As a Crew affiliate Club our Knights coaches receive access to the Crew’s coaching staff and coach education events (e.g., Crew Coach Apprenticeship Program). This access empowers our Knights coaches to learn and benefit from the Crew’s professional coach team which is assembled of leading coaches from the US, Europe, and South America. Coach training events are hosted at the very facility the Crew’s professional players practice and thus provide unique insights into professional soccer coach environments.
