Sporting Iowa is a partnership between West Des Moines Soccer Club (WDMSC) and Johnston/Urbandale Soccer Club (JUSC), and is responsible for implementing the select phase of our pathway. The partnership between WDMSC and JUSC to create Sporting Iowa was born out of a mission to transcend the level of play that existed in Iowa previously. The select soccer program provides a high quality learning environment and competitive opportunities to enhance the mental, physical, tactical and technical abilities of each player and maximize their potential. Select soccer is for players with a strong technical foundation and motivation to learn.
