| About the NSCAA Foundation |
The NSCAA Foundation’s mission is to provide soccer coaching educational opportunities to underserved socioeconomic communities, geographic areas and ethnic groups throughout the United States.
At the NSCAA Convention in 1989, then-president Bill Holleman put forth an idea to establish a foundation that would enhance the work of the NSCAA and provide resources for soccer coaches and/or soccer programs throughout the country. His vision was to create a foundation that supports the mission of the NSCAA and promotes the ideals of the many outstanding NSCAA members, both past and present, who have given so much to the Association and the great game of soccer.
At the 2003 Convention in Kansas City, the NSCAA Foundation Committee was reactivated. Building on the dedicated efforts of past committee members Ray Bernabei, Ronald Broadbent, Whitey Burnham, Miller Bugliari, Ray Cieplik, Jay Engeln, Bill Holleman, Robert Nye and Karen Stanley, the NSCAA Foundation Committee reviewed past history, developed a mission statement, outlined areas of focus for the Foundation and established a timeline for next steps relative to Foundation activities. It was at the Convention in Kansas City that the Cornerstone Campaign began to activate. The NSCAA Foundation Cornerstone Partners Program is a fundraising initiative with a goal of building an endowment that will begin to support the stated mission of the NSCAA Foundation.
Our hope is to have 100 percent participation of the NSCAA membership. As Henry Ford so aptly stated: "Vision without funding is just a hallucination." With your financial assistance, we now have the opportunity to see the vision come to fruition.
The NSCAA Foundation Committee has identified four major areas of emphasis for the Foundation to concentrate its efforts. The Foundation will:
- Facilitate opportunities for soccer coaches to attend NSCAA courses. The goal is to provide scholarships for coaches to participate in academies, symposiums and the NSCAA Convention.
- Stimulate the development of soccer coaching education environments. The goal is to take NSCAA courses to underserved and socioeconomic areas.
- Preserve the heritage of the NSCAA. The goal is to support the NSCAA Hall of Fame, the compilation of archives and, indirectly, support for the awards program.
- Enhance the development and delivery of soccer coaching education materials to coaching constituencies. The goal is to support projects such as the on-line work of the NSCAA, translation of NSCAA materials into several languages and relating to groups such as the Latin American Soccer Coaches Committee and the Black Soccer Coaches Committee.
