2025 DYSA Annual Awards

Anyone can submit a person for consideration for Coach of the Year (Rec and Travel), Administrator of the Year, TOPSoccer Buddy of the Year, Volunteer of the Year and the Female and Male Coach Mentor of the Year in memory of Lew Atkinson. State winners will then be automatically forwarded to US Youth Soccer for a chance to be a National winner.

DYSA will honor each recipient at their Annual Awards Luncheon in January.
