Leadership Development & Engagement

We believe in building the future of adaptive sport through reciprocal leadership, creating opportunities that are intentional, collaborative, and mutually beneficial.

Our spring internship cohort has now been filled, but internships are just one part of how we engage and invest in emerging leaders.

We work with individuals to create meaningful ways to get involved based on their skills, interests, and goals.

Opportunities may include:

AYSO Coach Adam Webb, stands holding hands with two young TOPSoccer players, encouraging them as they ready themselves to begin a fun soccer drill

Volunteer roles with real ownership and impact

Nico Calabria, captain of the U.S. Amputee Soccer Men's National Team, tries out Blind Soccer, wearing a visor, coached by a Blind Soccer player

In-kind and project-based contributions

Michel Tume speaks to a young attendee at a sports tourism event

Mentorship and professional development support

Jasela, a dwarf soccer for the U.S. Women's National Team, holds up a clipboard as she prepares to lead a coaching session

Future internship opportunities, as they become available

This approach ensures that every engagement is not just about supporting UASA’s mission –
but also about developing the people who help move it forward.

💬 “So, do Black people do this?” 🗣️ “Yes! I’m telling you… I’m one of them!” February and #BlackHistoryMonth might be wrapping up… but this conversation absolutely is not. LaQuinta Haynes AKA “Q” (@qurfavoriteamp) is the only African American to represent @usamputeesoccer_women 🇺🇸 in a Women’s Amputee Soccer World Cup - and she’s making sure the next generation knows they belong here too. Because that’s what representation is all about - someone else seeing you and thinking: “That could be me.” 🌟 As we now step into #WomensHistoryMonth, we’re celebrating the women building space in the field, breaking barriers, and making room at the table. Video Description: Highlights reel featuring adaptive soccer star Q (LaQuinta Haynes) - an above-knee amputee and trailblazer for USA’s Women’s Amputee Soccer Team. She speaks about the power of representation, being the only African American on the USA roster, and the importance of visibility for young Black athletes with disabilities. 🎥 Video credit: UASA, @usamputeesoccer_women, @nigeldpresents #UASA #SoAllMayPlay #AdaptiveSoccer
