Keeping In Touch will Keep Everyone Informed!

It was established in 1995 and ran twice a year until 2002 when the decision was made to postpone production of the publication.

"Reviving Keeping In Touch will hopefully help us reach more of our membership and friends of soccer so they can stay informed of what’s going on in Adult Soccer,” said USASA National Administrator, Stephanie Walker. “Faced with the financial challenge of printing and mailing a paper publication, an electronic version is a much more economically feasible way for us to market and promote the largest adult soccer organization in the Country,” said Walker.

Every month, the newsletter will deliver a variety of relevant news, tournaments/events announcements, and team/player highlights, just to name a few of the areas of content that will be featured in the newest marketing tool of the organization.

After several months of coordinating, gathering, and sorting information as well as developing a professional look, Keeping In Touch has been completed and is ready to launch. It’s a major accomplishment and proof of the organization’s growth.

The monthly feature seeks to communicate exciting information to numerous people throughout the United States. Members are invited to share their soccer news with the national office by contacting our Communications Coordinator below.
