The Minnesota Speech Coaches Association is an organization comprised of speech coaches from throughout Minnesota.  Its role is to represent speech coaches in a variety of ways.  Because of the diversity of schools, programs, and coaches in Minnesota, the MSCA provides a unifying force and a voice for the coaches in a many different venues and functions.  The MSCA unites and creates relationships from schools representing distant geographical areas, Twin Cities metro area, as well as schools from all over Greater Minnesota; Class AA and A; large, medium, and small schools; large, medium, and small teams; veteran coaches and inexperienced/novice coaches.  Member coaches are organized by competitive section; eight in Class AA and eight in Class A.  Sixteen section representatives serve as liaisons between the association officers and the members.

The MSCA, through its membership, officers, and committees, serves as a policy-making body.  Rules changes and other policy changes go through a process of review and decision by the organization before being passed on to the Minnesota State High School League, which recognizes the MSCA as the official policy-making organization for high school speech in Minnesota.  Association members also serve as the advisory committees that recommend topics and materials used in competition each year.  Members often communicate in person during the season, but the MSCA serves as a vehicle for communication during the off-season and at the CTAM conference in September and the state tournament in April. 

With the inauguration of the MSCA website in the fall of 2006, the organization is poised to become an even more dynamic and active group.
