CHARLESTON, S.C. (Nov. 12, 2025) – Go4, the only national, on-demand platform for hiring per diem athletic trainers, and US Club Soccer, a National Association member of the U.S. Soccer Federation, have extended their partnership. This strategic alliance promotes the best environment for the health and safety of US Club Soccer players, while also continuing to support parent and staff education and operational assistance for soccer clubs.

Go4 has been assisting US Club Soccer with staffing athletic trainers at its national events for several years, dating back prior to the announcement of the partnership in 2021.

“We are proud to continue our partnership with US Club Soccer.
