Board of Directors
DAVE CAMPBELL
Board Member
I have been coaching with NASA for over 16 years, and have been active on the Board for most of the last 11 years. I am committed to NASA's mission of providing soccer opportunities to the widest possible range of youth players, in order to lay the groundwork for a lifelong participation in the sport.
CARRIE PATTON
Board Member
I have been coaching our sons' teams here with NASA since 2012. Our players have basically grown up on NASA fields together. When I am not on a field coaching, my main role is being an informal educator. For years I have enjoyed volunteering in the Austin community for various organizations, projects and youth programs.
ERIC WHITE
Board Member
Recreational sports can provide so many good things to kids in terms of camaraderie, fitness, overcoming adversity, and fresh air. NASA provides these opportunities to kids and, from my experience, has a holistic view of recreational sports that emphasizes health and well-being and personal development and fun.
