The Northwest Ohio Scholastic Soccer Coaches Association (NWOSSCA) is comprised of head, assistant and former coaches of high school soccer teams in Northwest Ohio. The NWOSSCA is one of the largest Districts in the State of Ohio in terms of both geographic size as well as registered members. All registered members of the NWOSSCA are also members of the Ohio Scholastic Soccer Coaches Association (OSSCA) and the United Soccer Coaches (formerly the National Soccer Coaches Association of America).  

The NWOSSCA’s mission is to promote scholastic soccer in Northwest Ohio and, in conjunction with the OSSCA and the Ohio High School Athletic Association (OSHAA), to promote the development of soccer at all levels.

The NWOSSCA promotes these ideals by providing training and information to its members, by recognizing the athletic and academic achievements of the players in the District and by recognizing the achievements of the coaches, referees and volunteers in the area.  

In addition to naming all-district teams and player of the year honors, the NWOSSCA presents the following awards annually: public and private coach/assistant coaches of the year; coaches awards for promoting sportsmanship, ethics and integrity; team and individual academic awards; team sportsmanship awards; referee of the year and the Albert Laux award honoring longevity of service to a single school.
