inspiresport Announces New Partnership with Wisconsin Youth Soccer Association

inspiresport, part of Destination Sport Group, is proud to announce a new partnership with the Wisconsin Youth Soccer Association (WYSA), marking another key milestone in its continued growth in North America. This partnership follows the successful announcement of the US Consortium of State Association’s (USCSA) strategic alignment with inspiresport and the wider Destination Sport Group, positioning the group as a premier travel partner to youth soccer organizations across the country.

As part of this new collaboration, Destination Sport Group will serve as the Official Travel Partner for WYSA through three of its specialist travel divisions: inspiresport (youth team travel), Destination Sport Travel (business travel), and Sportsbreaks (fan travel experiences). Together, these divisions provide comprehensive, end-to-end travel solutions for players, coaches, families, and fans associated with the Wisconsin Youth Soccer Association.

The Wisconsin Youth Soccer Association represents more than 125 clubs, over 55,000 players and 10,000 coaches across the state, promoting youth development and competitive opportunities at all levels. The new partnership with Destination Sport Group is designed to enhance WYSA’s travel capabilities, providing access to international development tours, major sporting events, and a broader range of tailored travel services to support its members and affiliates.

Recent inspiresport Travel with WYSA’s ODP Program

This new partnership builds on recent successful experiences between inspiresport and WYSA, including an exciting international tour for the Wisconsin Olympic Development Program (ODP). Earlier this year, three ODP teams traveled to the United Kingdom, where they trained with two of the world’s most prestigious clubs, Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United, and played competitive friendly matches against local teams. The group explored both London and Manchester, with behind-the-scenes stadium tours, cultural excursions, and unforgettable moments designed to inspire players on and off the pitch.

More recently, the collaboration continued with more ODP teams traveling to Switzerland this summer. As part of their soccer development tour, players attended two matches at UEFA Women’s Euro 2025, providing a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to witness elite international women’s soccer while immersing themselves in European soccer culture.

inspiresport is proud to support these enriching opportunities and looks forward to creating many more lifelong memories for WYSA players and families in the coming years.

President of Destination Sport Group – North America, Jeremy Parkins, added,

The alignment of WYSA’s focus on enhancing their members’ soccer experiences with our goals is evident. Together, we aim to provide effortless travel arrangements and extraordinary sporting opportunities that resonate with WYSA’s vision for its players, coaches, and families.”
