Play with Pride
Save The Date: The eighth annual Play With Pride Week is scheduled for October 18-26, 2025! Play With Pride Week is an initiative that was developed in 2017 by the association’s LGBTQ+ & Allies Coaches Community.
Rainbow Laces: Each year, soccer programs across the country join United Soccer Coaches in showing their support for athletes and coaches of all sexual orientations and gender identities by wearing rainbow laces to support diversity and inclusion in the game.
