2026 Grassroots Symposium & Leadership Week
The 2026 Grassroots Symposium & Leadership Weekend is where the people shaping the future of soccer come together—not simply to reflect on the biggest tournament in the world, but to determine how its momentum becomes lasting impact in communities across the United States.
Hosted by US Youth Soccer in partnership with Common Goal USA and U.S. Soccer’s Soccer Forward initiative, the Symposium brings together coaches, club leaders, state associations, community organizations, educators, funders, researchers, policymakers, and Football for Good practitioners for three days of learning, collaboration, and action.
This isn’t a traditional conference.
It’s an immersive experience designed to connect people across sectors, challenge conventional thinking, and build relationships that continue long after the event concludes.
What to Expect:
Over three days, participants will move through a shared journey designed around one central theme: Moving Legacy Forward.
Rather than sitting through presentations, attendees will engage in facilitated conversations, community-based learning experiences, interactive workshops, networking opportunities, and practical sessions that encourage collaboration and real-world application.
Every aspect of the Symposium has been intentionally designed to maximize interaction, movement, and connection, creating opportunities to learn not only from speakers, but from one another.
Whether you’re leading a state association, coaching at the grassroots level, building community programs, shaping public policy, or investing in youth development, you’ll leave with new relationships, fresh ideas, and practical strategies you can immediately bring back to your community.
