STANFORD, Calif. - The three-time defending national champion Stanford men's soccer program is participating in United Soccer Coaches Open Training Week and inviting coaches to an open training session on Thursday, April 5 from 1:30 – 3:30 p.m.
In its second year, Open Training Week will return April 2-8, 2018 in cities across the country. This nationwide initiative provides an opportunity for coaches from all levels and backgrounds to experience new environments, observe high-level training sessions and learn from one another. Men's and women's teams at the college and professional levels welcome local soccer coaches in their communities to attend a practice.
Registration and a full schedule of sessions across the country is available at UnitedSoccerCoaches.org.
Stanford cemented its dynasty in December when it beat Indiana 1-0 in the College Cup final to become just the second school to win three consecutive NCAA championships. The Cardinal, 52-7-10 during its three-year championship run, did not allow a goal throughout the entire tournament for the second straight year and upped its NCAA-record postseason shutout streak to 12 - a stretch of 1,214 minutes and 20 seconds.
Jeremy Gunn and his staff of Oige Kennedy, Charles Rodriguez and Collin Audley were named the 2017 National Staff of the Year by United Soccer Coaches and Gunn also secured the first national men's coach of the year award handed out by Top Drawer Soccer and collected his fourth Pac-12 Coach of the Year honor.
