The 10 ‘Of The Year’ Awards will be presented at the 2025 Annual Awards Ceremony in Chicago, IL at the USC Workshop.
You will note only 6 PDF forms as Coach of the Year includes: Boys Competitive, Girls Competitive, Boys Recreational, and Girls Recreational so the same form can be used for each nomination. The other form with multiple options is Young Referee, which can be used for either Young Male or Young Female. Goal and Save of the Year will be identified at a later date.
A few small tweaks we made to update the nomination and selection process this year to provide the top nominees a chance at a National Award. Given the inconsistencies around nominations and how the regional selections were made, we have decided to review all nominees per category together, and not by region, to ensure that the top four nominees in each category are properly identified. In addition, we are looking for 3-5 volunteers per category to review 1 of the 10 Awards. This would be done in October, so if you have a little bit of time and would like to be a part of this selection process, please let us know so we can assign you to a review team. If you have a preference in selection, please note that in your email.
To submit your state nomination, please scan the nomination form and all supporting documents to one form and submit it to Nomination Form. You can submit one time for all categories or do individually based on when you receive a nomination.
The updated timeline:
July 8th – Oct 1st: States submit to Nomination Form for any/all nominations
Oct 1st – Oct 31st: Each review team submits 4 nominations to Zach by Oct 31.
Nov 1st – Nov 15th: National Office reviews the nominations and selects National winner
Week of Nov 18th – Announce National winner
