The partnership between NISOA and the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) dates back to NISOA’s foundation. Each year, NISOA recognizes outstanding achievement and sportsmanship by interscholastic and intercollegiate soccer coaches at the NSCAA’s national convention award banquet. In addition to presenting the Ray Bernabei Honor Award to Manuel Ortiz, Jr. this year, NISOA representatives presented several awards to deserving coaches during the NSCAA convention and at the awards banquet. Here are the award recipients as recognized at the 2013 NSCAA National Convention in Indianapolis, Indiana (click on an image to enlarge).
