August 19, 2020-In 2019, Eastern New York’s TOPSoccer Buddy of the Year Jessica Lee was also celebrated as both the Regional and National TOPSoccer Buddy of the Year. But all the praise that she received would not have occurred if she had not been nominated.
So once again, the Eastern New York Youth Soccer Association (ENYYSA) is asking that each member league and club turn their attention inwards to their volunteers in an effort to acknowledge those whose contributions have truly made a difference. We're seeking nominations for a variety of awards to demonstrate our appreciation for the hours of devotion these valued individuals donate to our players. Nominations are also being requested for Goal of the Year and Save of the Year.
Eastern New York will select a person in each category who will receive our recognition and will also be forwarded as our candidate for additional recognition at the Regional and National levels.
The entries MUST be on a specific form and be completed as comprehensively as possible or they cannot be considered.
The forms are all linked here.

Boys Recreational Coach of the Year
