Team Excellence Award

• What is it? It's a REALLY BIG trophy, and it's given to all the players of the team.
• Who earns it? It's mostly earned by the parents on the team, but also by the players on the field, and the coach on the touchline.
• How do we earn it? It's a simple process of gaining enough points as a team. Your team will need to have certain roles filled such as Coach, Team Ref, Asst. Coach, Team Parent, etc. Plus certain volunteer opportunities and regional info meetings.

Every team in the U8 – U19 divisions will receive a special award for both coaches and players if they meet the criteria below. Due to the nature of the U6 and Jamboree programs (ie. No referees, Game cards, etc.) they do not receive this award.

U8 – U19 must have 532 total points to qualify. This is 95% of the total points available (560 X 95% =532)
