Administrator of the Year

The size and scope of youth soccer programs across the country grows with each year.  Kentucky Youth Soccer alone has grown at a pace of 5 percent for the past six years. The need for administration of those programs also continues to grow.  

There are both volunteer and paid administrators at all levels of youth soccer.  

The KYSA Administrator of the Year is designed to recognize excellence in administration.  

Administration includes all aspects of the"paperwork" of youth soccer.  This is not an  award for the specialist who is dedicated to field assignments or solicitation of local sponsors for teams.  

The Administrator Award is for those who put the parts together.  In some associations this is a paid person, part-time, or full-time.
