New in 2021, Ontario Soccer is excited to include the MilkUP Future Leaders Award as part of the Centre Circle Awards.
This award will not only recognize young soccer leaders in each of five regions (Eastern Ontario, Central East, Central West, Western Ontario and Northern Ontario) for their outstanding contributions to their soccer community, but an education grant of $2,500 will be presented along with the award to assist with their educational endeavors. Ontario Soccer has partnered with the Dairy Farmers of Ontario to develop this Award.
