The BC Soccer Awards shine a spotlight on the individuals and organizations whose passion, dedication, and leadership have elevated the game across British Columbia. Their commitment to growing and promoting soccer inspire us all. Two KSYSA volunteers were awarded this year!!Special Recognition: Krista Profili-Fontes Krista has shown over the past 10 years her dedication to making sure soccer happens in her community. From organizing the teams and coaches, mini-world cup-style jamboree events, painting fields, coaching and now as a referee. Krista is a firm believer that soccer should be offered to all and she does her best to limit financial barriers. She works tirelessly to find volunteers for all events she plans and is successful large part to her demeanour.Referee of the year: Sidney CompstonFor more than 15 years, Sid has refereed, coached, mentored and taught from grassroots programs and has even been an accessor. For numerous years he was the RDO for the Kootenays. He has also been the Referee Coordinator in his local club as well as organizing referees to help officiate numerous tournaments in and around the Kootenays. He is well respected by players, coaches and parents alike. His love for the game not only shows in every interaction he has with those he interacts with but is also very infectious. It is not uncommon for Sid to be in his hometown of Trail during the week and on the weekend, you can find him teaching and mentoring other officials as far away as Golden, Fernie or somewhere in between. ...
