Recently, Mike Curry - chairman of the NSCAA’s Diversity Committee - was selected to serve as the goalkeeper coach of the U.S. Men’s National Team for its friendly against Mexico at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia on Aug. 10.

Curry was selected by new USMNT head coach Juergen Klinsmann, who has indicated that he will not be hiring a permanent coaching staff for some time, according to a US Soccer media release. Klinsmann has stated that waiting to make the full-time selections will allow him to pick the best possible candidates for the positions.

An NSCAA member since 1995, Curry has been a leader in the NSCAA’s diversity efforts for the past decade, developing and teaching a diversity training course tailored to the unique needs of the association. A member of the NSCAA Goalkeeping Academy staff, he has more than 37 years experience coaching goalkeepers and has instructed coaching courses at the regional and national levels. A standout goalkeeper for the University of Baltimore during its reign as an NCAA Division II national power, he spent eight years with FC DELCO as goalkeeper trainer.
