Young Referees of the Year (2009) Nominations

The annual Young Referee of the Year award honors those who have a strong work ethic, knowledge of the rules of the game and are positive role models.  Through the Young Referee of the Year program, US Youth Soccer helps foster the development of referees for the future of soccer in the United States. Many of the leagues around the country would not be able to cover all of their games but not for the involvement of youth referees. The national Male and Female Young Referees of the Year is announced at the US Youth Soccer Awards Gala, as a part of the US Youth Soccer adidas Workshop. The Young Referee of the Year recipients are awarded for their dedication to the game, their outstanding personal accomplishments, serving as role models to other youth referees and players, and for their excellence as recognized by their adult referee peers and mentors.

Each State Association in the Far West Region selects their young male and female Referee of the Year.  The Far West Region then selects the Regional YROY's and announces their selections at the Regional Tournament.
