WILMINGTON, MA — Wilmington Youth Soccer is extremely proud to announce that Rob Elliott has won the 2015 Administrator of the Year Award. This award is presented by Massachusetts Youth Soccer to the one Youth Soccer administrator who has performed at the highest levels. Michael Borislow of MA Youth made the following announcement:
Massachusetts Youth Soccer Association, the country’s largest youth soccer association, is proud to announce that Robert Elliott of Wilmington Youth Soccer Association (WYSA) has been award the association’s 2015 Administrator of the Year. Soccer program administrators serve in so many different way and are so very important to help keep a program running smoothly. In Rob’s role as WYSA’s VP of Development he has continuously found new and exciting ways to develop the program and player skills.
Rob earned this award for his contributions as a WYSA board member responsible for overseeing our Training and Development programs. He not only helped oversee the transition from our Technical Director, Rob Holliday, to our Interim Technical Director, Luke Lovitt, to our current Director of Coaching, Eric Redder, but he also worked with MA Youth to set up and help run a pilot program where U10 players from Wilmington have the chance to compete on Sundays against players from other large and strong town programs of Lexington, Sudbury and Easton. The results of this fall’s pilot will be evaluated over the winter to help guide future development opportunities for both WYSA and MA Youth.
Rob is almost always the first person at Shawsheen to set up the fields on Saturdays and has been counted on to help with whatever needs to be done, whether on the fields or behind the scenes, to bring soccer to well over one thousand Wilmington youths. We congratulate Rob on his award and thank him for all his time and energy spent in support of WYSA.
