The National Soccer Coaches Association of America serves as the recognized leader in naming All-America soccer players. The NSCAA selects All-America teams at every level of play. Through its annual sponsorship of the All-America teams, NSCAA provides coaches the opportunity to help their players receive richly deserved recognition while helping promote the growth of the sport.
An All-Region selection process is carried out by ballot at the end of the regular season. The All-America selections are based on the various levels of play that the school has selected for seasonal play (NCAA Division I, II or III; NAIA or NCCAA).
