"Oklahoma Soccer is excited to use the new Americaneagle.com/US Youth Soccer web platform and all of the benefits the system brings to our organization," said Sid Goodrich, executive director for Oklahoma Soccer. "After seeing the presentation at the annual US Youth Soccer Workshop earlier this year, we have been working in partnership with Americaneagle.com to improve the functionality and navigation of OKSoccer.com. The new site will help us service members and we are excited with the look and ease of navigation with the new design. Furthermore, the site is built on the same platform as the upcoming, USYouthSoccer.org website. This will allow Oklahoma and other sites on the platform to have instant access to content, including news, stories, video and much more."

"Thoughtful consideration in regards to the different types of Oklahoma Soccer users was a main focus throughout development of the new site. As such we devised the site structure for the content in a way that would provide the most information and opportunity for exploration, without overwhelming or confusing the user. In addition, the new idev® platform will help Oklahoma Soccer provide a better and more robust experience for fans to explore a plethora of information throughout the site to reach the youth, parents, coaches and fans. After all, that is what we are all doing this for," says Jared Elliott, Vice President of Operations at Americaneagle.com.

"The flexible and intuitive nature of the idev® CMS was the key elementin allowing us to meet and exceed the Oklahoma Soccer's objectives for the redesign. With the implementation of the Americaneagle.com idev® CMS, Americaneagle.com was able to create a robust and engaging site with content such as Olympic Development programs, photo galleries, multimedia channels, synchronization of content with US Youth Soccer, exclusive news, event information and so much more."
