Nominate a Legend
Big plays. Bigger hearts.
They’re the heartbeat of the game — on the field, in the stands, and behind the scenes. The kid who never quits. The coach who builds confidence, not just plays. The parent who hauls gear and hands out snacks like a pro. The volunteer who makes it all happen without ever asking for thanks.
Even the ref who keeps it fair and fun with a smile (and maybe earplugs).
Youth sports runs on heart. So if someone’s bringing the energy, the support, the magic — we want to hear their story.
Nominate them below and give them the spotlight they’ve earned.
