Georgia Soccer and MOJO Unite To Empower Youth Coaches and Bring More Family Fun To the Peach State

ATLANTA, Ga. (Feb. 9, 2021) — Georgia State Soccer Association (a member of US Youth Soccer) and MOJO are proud to announce a dynamic partnership to put the magic back into youth sports by providing coaches, clubs and teams across Georgia 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, Georgia 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. 

Georgia 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. Georgia coaches can download the free MOJO app through the App Store and create a profile affiliated with Georgia Soccer. 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.

“Grassroots soccer is the backbone of youth soccer, and we are thrilled to offer MOJO to all of our grassroots players and coaches,” said Laura Halfpenny, the Executive Director of Georgia Soccer. “What MOJO has created is world-class. It’s an invaluable tool that will be a game-changer for the 20,000 grassroots players across Georgia, making their experience all the more meaningful and fun.” 

“We’re delighted to partner with Georgia Soccer, helping support the return to play and bringing the magic back to grassroots soccer,” said Reed Shaffner, Co-Founder and COO of MOJO. “MOJO is all about helping coaches maximize the fun of youth sports while minimizing the work to do so.”

The new partnership with Georgia Soccer 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 Georgia Soccer.

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 Georgia will go back to supporting teams, players and clubs in need across the state.
