North Texas State Soccer Association

Since its formation in 1964 North Texas Soccer has offered quality soccer programs for both youth and adult players. A volunteer group with a dedication for growing the sport of soccer, it was legally incorporated as the North Texas State Soccer Association Inc. under the Texas Nonprofit Corporation Act with a federal income tax exemption as a 501 (c) (3) on April 29, 1981.

In the 24 years since that incorporation North Texas Soccer has grown to become the largest joint youth and adult soccer association in the United States, representing 145,000 youth players, 24,000 adult players, 40,000 indoor players, 25,000 coaches, 6,600 referees, and over 1,300 administrators. Including member spouses and parents, the North Texas Soccer family is estimated to be at least 500,000 strong.

North Texas Soccer was formed “To foster and advance the cause of soccer within the territory under the jurisdiction of the Association.” and has dedicated its efforts “To remain the leader in soccer by igniting a lifetime passion in each participant.”

That territory is on a line from Louisiana to New Mexico, from just south of Waco, TX. To Oklahoma, and from New Mexico to Arkansas and Louisiana.
