KANSAS CITY, Mo. (Aug. 31, 2023) – United Soccer Coaches announced on Thursday the Team Academic Award winners at the high school level to recognize exemplary performance in the classroom during the 2022-23 academic year.

A total of 317 soccer teams (129 boys, 196 girls) throughout the United States have earned the United Soccer Coaches High School Team Academic Award for exemplary performance in the classroom as a team during the 2022-23 academic year. Among these programs are 39 schools receiving honors for both their boys and girls’ teams.

United Soccer Coaches annually celebrates the academic achievements of high school soccer teams whose student-athletes collectively demonstrate a commitment to excellence in their studies over the course of a full academic year.
