Anyone know the details of this:
On paper reads that GA Soccer was one of 27 grantees of the Fund. It sounds/reads like now they have partnered with Atlanta United -- Does that mean the funds will be used to pay atlanta united staff to run these clinics?
Hopefully someone can clarify, because surely the richest club in the country didn't need money to to offer these clinics "and give back to the community while growing the game"? I love the idea/concept/award -- but please tell me I'm wrong that this fund, ie money will now go to Atlanta United to run these clinics???
Please -- I don't mean to come off as a jerk, but does GA soccer even offer scholarships for ODP, regional camp etc?

I like this part "Additionally, Georgia Soccer will deliver coaching education to coaches within the areas in which the players will be trained. Coaches will have the opportunity to go through the U.S. Soccer Grassroots License, which will connect non-traditional soccer clubs and communities to U.S. Soccer and build on their infrastructure."
this part seems like a misuse of the grant to use it for their benefit-- "With the grant, Atlanta United will provide monthly clinics to Georgia communities that have historically lacked access to the US Youth Soccer system by providing high-level coaching, talent identification and coach education. "
Is Atlanta United even a paying member of georgia soccer?
