Matt Twenter Sportsmanship Award

Matt Twenter was a tremendous athlete who loved life. At the age of 11, his short life came to a tragic end. In honor of Matt and his family, who attend our reception every year, this award is presented in his memory.

Each regular season game, our referees rate each team based on sportsmanship, on a scale from 1 to 5 with five being the highest score possible. Then at the end of the season, all scores are totaled, and the highest score from each grade level, boys and girls, become the recipients at the Matt Twenter Sportsmanship Reception.

Our Sportsmanship Reception is held at the conclusion of our season. The award winners, coaches, referees, executive board, and parents are invited. Medals are awarded. Our league considers this to be a very prestigious honor.
