About the foundation

In 1989, United Soccer Coaches, formerly the NSCAA, established our Foundation Committee. Our Foundation’s mission is to “provide financial support for coaching education and other developmental opportunities for United Soccer Coaches members who bring soccer to underserved socioeconomic communities and Advocacy groups.” 

Our Foundation firmly believes in the broader societal benefits of soccer as a recreational activity, an avenue for health and fitness, a means of building leadership skills, and a competitive sport. We believe we can provide these benefits through soccer coaching education. Our Legacy Society Members have committed to supporting this commitment in perpetuity.

Our Foundation’s primary program activity is direct financial support through grants and scholarships to coaching education programs.
