We checked in with Sporting Kansas City’s David Ficklin (VP of Development) to see how progress is going on the National Training and Coaching Development Center. Ground was broken back in July as U.S. Soccer, Sporting KC, Children’s Mercy and the Unified Government of Wyandotte County all partnered to make it a reality.
The NTCDC will be available to U.S. national teams from senior to youth and also be the state-of-the-art training home for the Sporting Kansas City first team. The site will be home to the U.S. Soccer National Coaching Education Center and the Children’s Mercy Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation Center.
