This collaboration empowers TSSA membership with tools to facilitate website accessibility, data privacy and legal compliance, ensuring an inclusive online experience for all visitors.

“Helping to make sure that ALL our soccer participants have a solution to finding soccer on our website is important to us, no matter the disability,” said Hans Hobson, Chief Executive Officer of the Tennessee State Soccer Association. “Clym and their services have helped us to move in that direction.”

By working with Clym, TSSA reinforces its commitment to equal access, both on and off the field of play. With Clym’s member-specific pricing, clubs and organizations can qualify for a complimentary solution to seamlessly improve their websites for individuals with disabilities while also meeting evolving consumer data regulations.

“We are proud to partner with TSSA to help their members navigate accessibility and data privacy regulations,” said Johnathan Brabson, Referral Partner Manager at Clym. “Soccer is about bringing people together, no matter their background or challenges, and we believe the digital space should reflect that inclusivity. Our mission is to create a more transparent and accessible online experience for everyone, and we’re excited to support TSSA in making that vision a reality for all clubs, players, coaches and fans.”

The Tennessee State Soccer Association (TSSA) announced today an official renewal of its partnership with Publix Super Markets, which will continue to be the presenting sponsor of the Tennessee State League and TSSA State Cup. Publix also maintains its support of TSSA through a variety of community initiatives and other programs that enhance the game throughout the state.

“We are super excited to renew this incredible partnership with Publix Super Markets,” said Hans Hobson, Chief Executive Officer of the Tennessee State Soccer Association. “We simply could not serve our volunteers and players at our many events without their support. The supplies provided by Publix serve 30% of our budget for these events. Thank you!”

Through its support of the Tennessee State League, TSSA State Cup and other programming, Publix has played a significantly important role in the growth and development of youth soccer in Tennessee. The longstanding relationship between TSSA and Publix originated in 2009 and is now further strengthened by this partnership renewal. 

“Publix is passionate about supporting the communities where we live, work and play, and it is an honor to continue our support of the Tennessee Youth Soccer Association,” said Nicole Maristany Krauss, Media Relations Manager (Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee) for Publix Super Markets, Inc.

Publix started as a single store in 1930 and now manages nearly 1,400 locations throughout the Southeast, including 59 stores in Tennessee. The largest employee-owned company in the United States, Publix has been named to Fortune’s 100 Best Companies to Work For List over the past 27 consecutive years, earning Publix recognition as one of their Great Place to Work Legends.

Now nearly a century into operation, Publix has always maintained a profound commitment to community service, which includes a Publix Serves Week each year that sees more than 6,000 associates dedicate 36,000 hours of service to their local communities. Further, Publix has donated more than 100 million pounds of fresh produce from local farmers to food banks through their Feeding More Together Initiative, and its Tools for Back to School Program continues to provide learning materials for needy students ahead of each school year.
