EA SPORTS and U.S. Soccer have teamed up to introduce EA SPORTS
Interactive Training, a free, online tutorial that uses EA SPORTS technology to
help train the soccer stars of the future. This interactive resource, available
at www.EASPORTSinteractivetraining.com employs the
EA SPORTS soccer game engine to illustrate U.S. Soccer’s coaching book “Best
Practices for Coaching Soccer in the United States” which serves as the sport’s
definitive player development guidelines. John Hackworth, U.S. Soccer
Development Academy Technical Director and U.S. Men’s National Team Assistant
Coach introduces each video segment with expert coaching advice for players ages
8-12 and their coaches to help them improve real-world technique.

The
U.S. Soccer “Best Practices for Coaching Soccer in the United States” manual is
an invaluable training guide created by U.S. Soccer’s Coaching Education
Department to give youth and junior level soccer coaches in the United States a
set of fundamental tools to help open up the game of soccer to young players in
ways that celebrate the sport’s spontaneous qualities. The Best Practices Manual
is available for free download at ussoccer.com. EA SPORTS uses sophisticated
physics and its animation engine to bring the resource to life by helping
players and coaches visualize the professional benefits of drills and convert
that to precision on the field.

Specific features of EA SPORTS
Interactive Training include:
• Six videos focused on drills – Passing,
Dribbling, Heading, Shooting, Receiving and Defending
• Three levels of
complexity for each video module
• Expert instruction from John Hackworth,
U.S. Soccer Development Academy Technical Director and U.S. Men’s National Team
Assistant Coach

Given the insatiable appetite EA SPORTS is seeing for
digital content among youth demographics globally, this online resource is
likely to resonate with young players and help U.S. Soccer in its mission to
help continue the development of soccer at all recreational and competitive
levels. Since last June, more than 500 million online game sessions of EA SPORTS
games have been played, and more than 2 million game highlight videos have been
uploaded to EA SPORTS websites.
