The Union is a joint effort by local clubs to allow upper level and college bound players a program similar to ODP where they can train with other top players. SESA works with local men's and women's college coaches who run sessions and provide resources for parents and players. The program is available to all players u14+, regardless of club affiliation. Players are also invited to attend a premiere showcase tournament and receive additional recruiting and college prep resources.

Mission: To bring talented and committed soccer players in Southeast Iowa and surrounding communities together regardless of club affiliation.

The Union will provide a supplemental training/game environment, that takes place in an academy and showcase team type setting with professional and college coaches.

What is the Union ? 

The Union will bring Southeast Iowa, Western Illinois, & Northeast Missouri's most committed and competitive players together. Lead by professional and college coaches.

The Union will provide pool training for 14U, 16U & 18U boys and girls players (each age group will be combined of two years or as best possible/appropriate).
