National Soccer Coaches Association of America

The Latin American Soccer Coach Committee (LASCC) was founded with the purpose of promoting the preparation and development of male and female Latino coaches, players, and referees. The vision of LASCC is to provide adequate and timely information to the Latino community regarding the different education opportunities to become a soccer coach under the philosophy of the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA). The Latino community has a rich soccer tradition because soccer is the number one sport for the Latinos. LASCC aims to provide information about coaching education opportunities and strategies for the effective organization of the different soccer levels and categories in the Latino communities. LASCC wants the Latino community to become an integral part in the developments of soccer in the United States.
The values of LASCC are centered in the values of soccer, camaraderie, support, teamwork, communication, team and individual development, and respect for the game and the laws. LASCC demands all its members to have professionalism and is governed under the code of ethics of the NSCAA.
LASCC is governed by the NSCAA’s values of diversity. These values promote diversity and offers equal opportunities for all races, languages, sex and people with special needs. Therefore, LASCC will provide information to the Latino community in its native language, Spanish, and also in English.
LASCC aims to be visionary in identifying coaches with great experience and talent among their membership and make them available to our Latino soccer community.

LASCC is the most effective way for the Latino community to be part of NSCAA and other soccer organizations in the country.
