KANSAS CITY, Mo. (July 28, 2025) – United Soccer Coaches announced on Monday the Team Ethics and Sportsmanship Award recipients for high school programs competing in the Spring season. Today’s awards recognize a total of 46 teams across the country for exhibiting fair play, sporting behavior and adherence to the laws of the game.
Five teams earned the United Soccer Coaches Platinum Team Ethics Award for completing the entire 2025 Spring season without receiving either a yellow or red card.
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.
