Each year individuals are recognized in various categories and represent Kansas Youth Soccer at the Midwest Regional. If individuals are selected as Regional award winners, they represent the Midwest Region at the US Youth Soccer Awards Gala in conjunction with the US Youth Soccer Convention. Individuals chosen at the Awards Gala become National Level winners in their respective category. In addition to State awards, the Kansas Youth Soccer Association honors Kansas Hall of Fame Inductees.
Join us as we acknowledge and celebrate those individuals who have made a positive impact in our soccer community. The 2021 Awards Gala will be postponed due to the ongoing pandemic. This decision was made so that we could give all award winners a proper celebration when its safe to do so.
