Coaching, refereeing, and professional development.
Coaching
UASA works within existing coaching education systems to help make them more accessible and inclusive for people with disabilities and for those working in adaptive soccer. This includes working within established pathways, such as those available through U.S. Soccer, while helping identify barriers, build adaptations, and connect people with opportunities.
We also want to help more people with disabilities enter coaching as a pathway for leadership, employment, and professional development.
Have a coaching opportunity or education pathway you want to make more inclusive, or are you looking for an accessible coaching opportunity?
Refereeing
UASA works with adaptive soccer pathways to strengthen referee education, introduce existing referees to adaptive formats, and expand opportunities for people with disabilities to become referees in both adaptive and mainstream soccer.
We have begun work in areas including amputee and power soccer, with additional development expected over time. The larger goal is not only better officiating within adaptive soccer. It is also helping people with disabilities access referee education, employment, and leadership opportunities across the game.
