Player of the Game Award Greater Grand Forks Soccer Club is pleased to present the Player of the Game award program for the Greater Grand Forks Soccer Tournament. This program is designed to recognize outstanding sportsmanship, soccer skills and/or effort of a player on the opposing team. At the conclusion of every game each coach/team will decide which player on the opposing team has earned the award and present it to them. You will receive the award (to be awarded to an opposing player) when the team registers. (Rec teams not included)
Instructions: 1. Prior to kick-off, coaches should discuss who has been awarded a Player of the Game (POG) in previous games to avoid the same players receiving multiple cards. 2. Coaches will award one card to the opposing player they (or their team) determines to be the POG on the other team. 3. We encourage coaches to consider character traits such as hustle, work ethic, attitude and sportsmanship as well as overall skill. 4. POG cards should be given right after the final whistle, during the handshake. 5. Thank you for joining us in our effort to promote the Spirit of the Game as well as good competition.
