Background
The Black Soccer Coaches Committee was founded in 1996 as the Black Soccer Coaches Association (BSCA) by Lincoln Phillips, former Howard University Men’s coach and presently a FIFA coach serving as Technical Director of the Trinidad and Tobago Football Federation (T&TFF). Mike Curry served as its first chairman. In 2000, the BSCA became affiliated with the NSCAA as the Black Soccer Coaches Committee (BSCC). One year later, the chairs of the BSCC and the Latin American Soccer Coaches Association (LASCA) were appointed to the NSCAA Board of Directors as At-Large members. In January of 2004, Curry turned the chair over to former U.S. National Soccer Team and MISL player Desmond Armstrong. In 2005, Hylton Dayes, University of Cincinnati Men’s Soccer Coach, was appointed chairman by the Board of Directors to fill Armstrong’s unexpired term of office. In 2008 Sam Okpodu, Head Men’s Soccer Coach at Newberry College, Newberry, South Carolina was appointed the NSCAA/BSCC Chairman by the NSCAA Board of Directors to serve out the remaining year for Hylton Dayes. In 2009, the NSCAA board lead by the newly appointed president Randy Waldrum reappointed Sam Okpodu to a new term as the Chairman of the NSCAA/BSCC in 2009 at the 62nd Annual NSCAA National Convention, in St. Louis, MO. Curry, Dayes, Okpodu and Kendall Reyes, Univeristy of South Carolina-Upstate Head Women's Soccer Coach, are also NSCAA National Academy Staff Coaches.
Now more than 500 members strong, the BSCC includes coaches of color representing the United States, Canada, the Caribbean, South America, Europe and Africa.
