Sportsmanship award as a soccer coach
I became interested in soccer and had coached ny 2 daughters when I resided in Long Island.
I turned 40 and got my first cleats and ages 5 and through age 13 coached in my community and with the Long Island Junior Soccer
Organization.
I actually made sure the lines were drawn on the field and nets up and confirmed that the referees confirmed on the correct date.
I got a small reward and it was fun. My late husband was the President of the PAL and we both love sports.
