Award Recipients and Honorees
To expand the recognition for those who give their time and effort to the organization by way of service, US Youth Soccer recognizes individuals on an annual basis through awards.
Categories include: Boys and Girls Competitive Coaches of the Year, Boys and Girls Recreation Coaches of the Year, Administrator of the Year, Volunteer of the Year, Male and Female Young Referees of the Year, TOPSoccer Buddy of the Year, TOPSoccer Coach of the Year, and both Goal and Save of the Year. In addition, the Dr. Thomas Fleck Award, Evelyn Gill Leadership Award, and Hall of Fame inductees are also recognized each year.
The Dr. Thomas Fleck Award — US Youth Soccer’s Excellence in Youth Coaching Education Award — was designed to honor a lifetime of dedication where one has with integrity, honor, humor and humility made extensive and far reaching contributions to the process by which youth soccer coaches are educated in America.
