KANSAS CITY, Mo. (May 28, 2025) – United Soccer Coaches announced on Tuesday the Team Ethics and Sportsmanship Award recipients for high school programs competing in the winter and spring seasons. Today’s awards recognize a total of seven teams across the country for exhibiting fair play, sporting behavior and adherence to the laws of the game. The Team Ethics and Sportsmanship Award is given to United Soccer Coaches members at four levels. Teams honored at the platinum level went an entire season without a player or coach receiving a yellow card or red card. Teams honored at the gold (1-10%), silver (11-30%) and bronze (31-50%) levels are based on a percentage calculated by the total number of cards received by players and coaches divided by the team’s total number of games played. 2024-25 United Soccer Coaches High School Winter Team Ethics and Sportsmanship Award Winners Gold Award Cambridge Christian School, Kevin Hickinbotham – Girls Silver Award Captain Shreve High School, Erik Lane – Girls Cypress Woods High School, Amy Trocquet – Girls Melbourne High School, Michael Lord – Girls Olympic Heights High School, Jim Cappello – Girls Snyder High School, Jessica Lima – Girls Bronze Award Cambridge Christian School, Kevin Hickinbotham – Boys |
