Awards Celebration

Print Page

Each year in September we celebrate Youth Soccer Month. As part of our month long celebrations we also open up nominations for annual awards which are determined at the State level in October; the Region II level in November; and the National US Youth Soccer Association level in December. In addition to State awards, the Kansas Soccer Foundation honors Kansas Hall of Fame Inductees.

In past years we have had several awardees be selected in their category as the Region II Representative and as late as 2010 also won awards at the US Youth National Level. Clearly, Kansas is blessed to have a number of talented, dedicated volunteers, administrators, coaches and referees and we congratulate the following winners from the past three years:
