Cal North and MOJO Come Together to Empower Coaches and Bring Fun to the Golden State

PLEASANTON, Ca. (March 1, 2021) — California Youth Soccer Association, Cal North (a member of US Youth Soccer) and MOJO are proud to announce a first-in-the-nation partnership to put the magic back into youth sports by providing coaches, clubs and teams across Northern California with a one-stop coach-in-a-box mobile app that takes the aggravation and chaos out of coaching.

The partnership comes at a crucial time in youth sports as COVID-19 has compounded existing challenges for teams and coaches across the country. As the spring 2021 soccer season approaches, Cal North and MOJO hope to enrich and improve the grassroots soccer experience with easy-to-use technology and world-class educational content developed by top coaches, experts and elite athletes. 

Cal North coaches and parents will be able to access the free MOJO app which features exclusive short-form videos customized to age and skill level with one-touch tools to plan fun and engaging practices. Cal North coaches can download the free MOJO app through the App Store and create a profile affiliated with Cal North. Once they create a profile, they will have access to MOJO’s library of content and practice plans personalized to their preferences and their team’s needs.

“Cal North is excited to bring this wonderful training platform to our grassroots coaches,” said Kevin Crow, Technical Director of Cal North. “The ease of use, ability to customize training sessions on the fly, and the confidence that ALL coaches will gain is immeasurable. MOJO helps them to walk onto the field prepared.” 

“We’re thrilled to work with Cal North, helping support the return to play and bringing the magic back to youth sports,” said Reed Shaffner, Co-Founder and COO of MOJO. “MOJO is all about saving time on preparation and planning, and making time on the field more fun and meaningful.”

The new partnership with Cal North represents MOJO’s commitment to building strategic relationships with leading youth sports organizations, clubs and teams in the U.S. and around the world. The partnership also establishes MOJO as an Official Grassroots Coaching Partner of Cal North.

The free MOJO app provides everything a coach needs for a season of soccer with one team and one practice per week. Coaches can also upgrade to MOJO+ for $19.99, with additional content and features, including unlimited practices per week and the Ask-A-Coach feature for 24-hour access to experienced MOJO coaches. A portion of all MOJO+ proceeds from Northern California will go to support teams, players and clubs in need across the region.
