Ok, here's are the elements I was trying to reconcile in that statement:
"U.S. Soccer is the national governing body of the sport. Includes news, video, tournaments, coverage of all US National teams and information on USSF member organizations." --www.ussoccer.com
"As the governing body of soccer in all its forms in the United States, U.S. Soccer has played an integral part in charting the course for the sport in the USA for almost 100 years. In that time, the Federation’s mission statement has been very simple and very clear: to make soccer, in all its forms, a preeminent sport in the United States and to continue the development of soccer at all recreational and competitive levels.
To that end, the sports exponential growth in the past two decades has been nothing short of remarkable.
Multiple soccer specific stadiums have opened their doors to resounding success, and new arenas around the country are currently being planned and built. The National Training Center in Carson, California is entering its seventh year of existence, and in 2007 the U.S. Soccer Development Academy kicked off with much fanfare at the state of the art facility." --www.ussoccer.com/about
"But US Soccer has nothing to do with Academy." --Big Daddy
"And USSF is directly managing the Academy." --Big Daddy
