The United Soccer Coaches is offering High School Spring Awards despite the situation with most of the season being canceled due to COVID-19. Please review the options. You must be a USC member to nominate/select (or join).

High School Scholar All-America: We will recognize High School Seniors that have a GPA of 3.75 on a 4.0 scale. These student-athletes will need to show outstanding performance in the classroom and on the field. A member that has such a player can go to the website and find the application on the High School awards page. The deadline for nominations is July 1. This program is headed by National Chair, Haroot Hakopian, Haroot_Hakopian@mcpsmd.org.

Senior Excellence Award: Every team has a player that truly exemplifies what High School Soccer is all about. The player has a spirit and work ethic that is outstanding among his/her teammates. This year, we allow a school up to three nominees per team.

Team Academic Award: This is for a team that compiles a GPA of 3.25 on a 4.0 scale for the academic school year of 2019-2020. This GPA represents all the players on (or would have been on) the Varsity squad for this past school year. The application will be opened on May 18.

Coach of Significance Award: This is intended to recognize members who are coaching for character and using the soccer field to teach life lessons at the high school level. The nomination deadline has been extended to May 1.

Coaching milestones: Any member that has reached a coaching milestone of 100, 200, 300 or more would be eligible for a certificate marking that achievement.
