Mission
The NSCAA Women's Committee exists to educate, professionally develop and serve as an advocate and resource for the women's soccer community. The Women's Committee will recognize current and past contributors of women's soccer and offer services and programs. The Women's Committee will identify, support and promote women, and coaches of women, into leadership positions.
About the Women's Committee
The Women's Committee was established in 1991 to be a powerful voice in the NSCAA, to promote the women's game and to represent all levels of women in coaching - from youth to the national level. The committee is dedicated to all coaches of women's soccer through recognition, education, leadership, communication and cooperation with other organizations.
Today, the Women's Committee operates as part of the NSCAA Diversity Committee alongside the Black Soccer Coaches Committee, the Latin American Soccer Coaches Committee and a pilot Native American Soccer Coaches Committee. The Women's Committee boasts a growing membership and sees turnout at the annual open meeting increase every year. We seek to retain legitimacy, credibility and consistency within the NSCAA and are seeking representation at all levels of the women's game. All youth, high school, college and professional coaches of women are welcome to join our membership at large.
