CHICAGO (April 1, 2011) – U.S. Soccer’s Coaching Education Department will conduct a coaching symposium on May 13-14, 2011, in conjunction with the U.S. Women’s National Team’s match against Japan on May 14 in Columbus, Ohio.

The game, which will be played at Crew Stadium, home to the Columbus Crew of Major League Soccer, will be the first of two games against Japan in May. The U.S. Women will also play Japan in Cary, N.C. on May 18 for their final tune-up before the 2011 FIFA World Cup in Germany.

“This is an excellent opportunity for coaches to come support our women’s national team as they prepare for the 2011 World Cup,” said Director of Coaching Education Dave Chesler who will oversee the symposium. “The two-day event will provide an inside look into the final team preparations prior to Germany. We will also examine the tendencies and strengths of Japan, a soccer nation that has one of the most rapidly accelerating programs in the world.”
