As an independent news site, Prost Soccer is always looking for new writers and photographers to provide greater coverage for soccer in North America and abroad. Our site has grown rapidly in the past year to include reporting across not just North America but also abroad. It is our goal to continue this expansion in the years ahead. Please note before applying that Prost Soccer is a crowd-sourced entity. That said, what we lack in funding we make up for in opportunity, exposure, mentoring and in some cases, college credit.
