New USYS Great Lakes Conference Staff Member
We are pleased to welcome Sarah Schneider to the USYS National League staff as our new Assistant League Manager & Marketing Coordinator. Sarah will help facilitate and operate all things Great Lakes Conference to ensure you have the best experience possible. Sarah joins the National League staff with more than eight years of communications and administration experience and has held several different positions within the youth soccer industry. Sarah has come through the USYS soccer system first as a player in the Midwest Regional League during her youth days and then later as a club administrator for several years before her most recent position as the head of communications for the Florida Youth Soccer Association. You may contact Sarah at sschneider@usyouthsoccer.org. Our previous Assistant League Manager, Kelly Jenkins, remains within the USYS family as the Administrative Manager for National League but will no longer be a direct point of contact for the Great Lakes Conference. Any questions or concerns regarding the GLC should be directed to myself or Sarah moving forward.
