United Soccer Alliance of Indiana 2024 Annual Awards

January 1, 2025


We’re pleased to recognize some of your Club's exceptional volunteers and coaches in 2024. Thank you for your nominations and comments. If you know these folks, will you please help congratulate them? Key to the Club’s success is the army of parent volunteers who run the Club and welcome our 30,000 guests each year. Special thanks to the Club’s Board of Directors and every Recreation League Coach for children ages 2-20.


Recreation League Coach of the Year  Serving 2000+ children, 250+ teams, and 260+ volunteer Recreation coaches, there are often too many great Recreation Coaches to recognize each year. These coaches were each nominated by several parents via season end survey Fall 2024.
