CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--US Youth Soccer, the largest youth sports organization in the nation, announced that YoCrunch®, the nation’s leading yogurt with mix-in toppings, is an official sponsor.
The new partnership will highlight YoCrunch’s fun and delicious yogurts with toppings as an official snack for players, as well as provide US Youth Soccer coaches, administrators and parents with important information to ensure that snack time is more nutritious and hassle-free.
“Opting for a YoCrunch fruit parfait with granola after the big game is a healthy and fun way for players to get calcium and protein in a low-fat snack that also tastes great,” said YoCrunch Senior Director of Marketing Jeff Hunt. “Young athletes are looking for an edge on and off the field and we believe YoCrunch goes beyond the basic boring yogurt cup to give them a more nutritious snack with a kick.”
YoCrunch will reach the more than three million youth players and one million adults engaged with US Youth Soccer by providing helpful snacking resources including a snacking guide and team snack list available on USYouthSoccer.org. Special offers on YoCrunch products and an online soccer game will also be available on the site throughout the sponsorship.
“We are pleased to welcome YoCrunch as a US Youth Soccer sponsor,” said US Youth Soccer Executive Director Jim Cosgrove. “Not only are our members passionate about soccer and furthering their skills but they are also concerned about eating and staying healthy, and that’s why YoCrunch is such a great fit for us.”
