Whether it’s a club, a college, a supporter’s group or a professional team, history is an essential element for building strong, long-term soccer communities.
On January 9, 2025, at the United Soccer Coaches Convention in Chicago, David Kilpatrick and Chuck Carson led a discussion titled, “Implementing an Historical Initiative for Your Club, League, or Community.”
David Kilpatrick, a former SASH board member, is professor of English and program director of Sport Management at Mercy University and club historian for the New York Cosmos. Chuck Carlson is Chicago House AC club historian and a current SASH board member.
