Steve "Seve" is a lifelong fixture at Northwest Soccer Camp first as a camper and now as a staff member.

Steve will be returning for his 8th season as head men's soccer coach at Barry University. One of the top young coaches in all of collegiate soccer, Steve has lifted the men's soccer program at Barry to new heights. The Bucs have now become a fixture in the NSCAA coaches’ poll and have made several appearances in the NCAA Tournament. After only two seasons of 10 or more wins in the first 14 years of the program, the Bucs have not won less than 10 games under McCrath.

A highly decorated player and coach, Steve was a four-year letterman at Seattle Pacific. He helped the Falcons to the 1986 NCAA Division II national championship and was captain of the 1989 squad. As a senior, he earned first team NCAA Division II All-Far West Region honors. During his four career at SPU, the Falcons recorded a 60-20-8 overall record and advanced to NCAA post-season play three times.

He also played professional soccer with the Seattle Storm of the Western Soccer League and later signed on with the indoor Milwaukee Wave of the National Professional Soccer League. In 1993, he led Murphy's Pub to the U.S. Men's Amateur national cup championship, starting as a defender. McCrath also toured with Athletes-in-Action to South Africa in 1996.

After graduating from SPU, he became an assistant coach at Pacific Lutheran University prior to becoming the head coach at Inglemoor High in the Seattle area. In his six seasons with the Vikings, he compiled a 63-25-13 overall record and a 48-17-7 mark in league play, was named 1992 King County High School Coach-of-the Year, and led Inglemoor to the state playoffs twice.

Steve, who holds an "A" coaching license from the United States Soccer Federation and also an NSCAA premier license, has also served as a coach for Washington's Olympic Development Program for five years.

He earned his bachelor's degree from Seattle Pacific in Communications in 1990 and received a master's degree in Sports Administration in 1993, also from SPU.
