The 1907 Latrobe Athletic Association season was their twelfth season in existence. The decrease in community interest and the change of the team from the professional ranks to a local amateur status in 1907 coincided with John Brallier's last year as a player. The team finished 5–3–2 or 5–2–2 in 1907.
Leadership
Prior to the start of the season, Latrobe's veteran captain Harry Ryan retired as a player and took on the role of co-head coach with John Brallier, who also held the position of manager. Leo Gibson succeeded Ryan as captain. It was arranged that Brallier would handle coaching duties every third week or when Ryan was working the night shift at the steel plant.
