TSC Cares Raises Over $23,000 to Help Special Olympics Tennessee Soccer Program

FRANKLIN, TN – Tennessee Soccer Club hosted its annual Soccer-A-Thon Saturday, February 21 at Robert Ring Arena in Franklin, TN to raise money for the Special Olympics Tennessee (SOTN). The event raised over $15,000 to help the SOTN with its soccer program.

Nearly 60 Special Olympic Tennessee athletes participated in two hour-long clinics with TSC players and coaches leading the sessions and pairing up with the SOTN athletes.

“The Soccer-A-Thon is an event I look forward to every year, supporting such a great community partner like Special Olympics Tennessee,” said TSC Tournament Director & Events Coordinator Jimmy Drain. “Watching the joy that takes place with the Special Olympics athletes and the TSC players together all smiling and having fun makes the day special.”

TSC began partnering with Special Olympics Tennessee in 2016 and has helped raise over $270,000 toward the cause. Through TSC’s fundraising assistance, Special Olympics Tennessee was able to re-launch its soccer program and create more opportunities for athletes.

“We are so excited to continue our partnership with Tennessee Soccer Club,” said Adam Germek President and CEO of Special Olympics Tennessee. “The money [TSC] raises and the support provided to our athletes allows us to provide programming, support, training, and competitions for all of our soccer athletes. We appreciate everything [TSC] does.”

“As a part of our values as a club, TSC Cares and the Soccer-A-Thon creates a platform for all to share our passion for soccer,” Drain added.

CHAMPIONS! TSC Williamson 2009 Boys Showcase Lifts Tennessee Fall State Cup Championship Trophy

By News

MURFREESBORO, TN – Tennessee Soccer Club’s Williamson 2009 Boys Showcase, coached by Jack Theriot, claimed the Tennessee State Soccer Association (TSSA) Fall State Cup Championship on Sunday, defeating Emerald Bayern Munich 2009 Boys 2-1 in the U16 final at Richard Siegel Soccer Complex.

TSC opened the scoring in the 22nd minute with a rocket from 30 yards out to take a 1-0 lead.  Emerald tied the score in the 37th minute, but TSC responded just after halftime earning a penalty kick and a 2-1 lead that it would take to the final whistle and celebration.

The victory marks Coach Theriot’s first State Cup title since 2011, when he led the TNFC ’93 Girls to the championship.

“Congratulations to all of our teams who participated in the State cup final this past weekend and very special “well done” to Coach Jack Theriot and his 2009 boys Showcase team who won their first state cup championship,” said U15-U19 Boys Director Sandy Pollock.

In total, four TSC teams advanced to their respective championship matches.  In addition to the 2009 Williamson Boys Showcase championship, the Williamson 2009 Boys NPL team led by Pollock battled to a 1-1 draw through regulation and fell in heartbreaking fashion in a penalty kick shootout.  The Williamson 2014 Boys Showcase was edged in their final match as well as the 2010 Williamson ECNL RL Boys team.

In total, TSC crowned one champion, three finalists, two semi-finalists, and 4 quarterfinalists.

“Overall, we are proud of our performances on the field this fall,” Director of Soccer Stephen Jordan said.  “It was brilliant to see Coach Jack and the boys achieve their goal and lift the trophy.  We are excited as we move into the next phase of the year as the older girls begin their seasons and look forward to continued successes.”

Ronnie Woodard Named US U-16 Girls’ National Team Head Coach for England Friendlies

By News

ATLANTA (Oct. 22, 2025) – The U.S. Under-16 Girls’ National Team will travel to England from Oct. 22-31 for a training camp and games at St. George’s Park, England’s National Training Center, located about 120 miles north of London.

The USA will face its counterparts from England on Oct. 28 and Oct. 31, giving this age group valuable international competition.

All players in this camp were born in 2010 and represent the core of the team that will compete to qualify for the 2027 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup. As this will be Katie Schoepfer’s cycle, and she is currently in Morocco coaching at the 2025 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup, Ronnie Woodward will be the head coach for this camp and matches.

This year marks the beginning of FIFA’s annual staging of FIFA U-17 WWC — as opposed to biannually as it was in the past — and the tournament will be held in Morocco for the next five years.

The camp is part of the Federation’s continued focus on the U.S. Way philosophy, which emphasizes increased programming for Youth National Teams to create more opportunities for young players to advance through the pathway to the senior National Team with the goal of representing their country at a world championship.
