Patrick Kerouac Memorial Spirit Award

This award is named in memory of a young boy who loved the sport of soccer and showed his love of the game by supporting his teammates and opposing teammates on and off the field. All teams will be judged during their preliminary matches by site coordinators and referees. Each region produces one representative. The overall Spirit Award winner is selected from the regional candidates.

The award is determined by an evaluation process which takes into account the team that goes the extra mile to make others feel like winners, that displays the highest standards of the spirit of fair play, and most closely emulates the ideals set forth by NHSA, USYSA, and the Tide NHSA American Cup. Games won/lost, scores and distance traveled are not criteria.

The winning team is invited to come to the finals for the formal presentation by Patrick’s parents. Each player and coach is met by the parent and is given an individual award. The team receives a rotating Spirit Team trophy to display for the following season.

It is a real honor for any team to receive this distinctive award.
