What We Do

soccerreform.us is the nation’s only non-partisan grassroots organization fighting for the adoption of an unlimited, accessible open league system for US club soccer featuring promotion, relegation and independent, fully autonomous clubs. Through coordinated outreach and an aggressive multimedia campaign we rally US supporters to help free our club soccer from the dogmatic institutional barriers and administrative restrictions unique to the American pro sports model.

What We Stand For

Our goal is a US Soccer sanction for an accessible, open and free market system featuring promotion, relegation and independent, autonomous clubs - the same system that every top soccer league system in the world enjoys. We're fighting for a new American soccer century that begins the minute that system is fully adopted here in the United States - the biggest open and free market in the world.

We're committed to assemble disenchanted and disenfranchised American soccer supporters behind a push for a deregulated American club soccer system. We're pushing against a misapplied domestic professional sports model that stunts the growth of US leagues, developmentally disables top American clubs and limits opportunities for - and development of - American players.

We believe an open league model for US club soccer featuring promotion and relegation will usher in a dynamic and unprecedented period of growth in the American game and fully integrate us with our global competitors. We agree this system is fundamental to the sport, fundamentally fair, and fundamentally American. We're convinced that enabling fully autonomous clubs totheir own performance goals, player salaries, roster moves and sizes - regardless of league - will bring a flood of new investment to the US game. We're committed to levelling the playing field for every club, supporter, player and owner. We're devoted to freeing our top clubs from domestic restrictions that hamper them in international competition.

soccerreform.us is not for bashers, mockers or belittlers of US club soccer. Instead, we represent American soccer supporters who strive to free the future of US club soccer from burdonsome quality limits and oppressive league regulation. When we showcase a future in which every club has the ability to move up through leagues based solely on the quality of their play, we give new hope to supporters of every lower division club. When we push for elimination of exorbitant franchise fees for admission into any league, we give hope to investors and communities who dream of their own independent, autonomous, and unlimited club. When we emphasize the removal of artificial limits on squad size and player salaries that keep top clubs from realizing their full potential, we give MLS supporters license to dream that their club could someday join the global elite. When we illustrate how the implementation of an open league model will result in an unprecedented expansion of investment and interest in free, independent and autonomous clubs, we give hope to every US club soccer supporter.

Entitled US pro sports owners have spent a century trying to bend the beautiful game to their will. We think it's time to bend our entitled pro sports owners to the will of the beautiful game.
