The NHP Wildcats Soccer Club is pleased to announce the establishment of the Student Athlete Scholarship Award. This award is presented to young men and women who have played for the NHP Wildcats Soccer Club during their high school years and meet specific scholarship criteria.
The purpose of this award is to thank these players for their support and dedication to their local community soccer club. These players, many of which began their soccer career playing intramurals with the NHP Wildcats at 5 or 6 years old, are now heading off to college in the fall.
This year’s scholarship recipients represent two NHP travel teams that started playing at U10 in 1999 and played a combined total of over 500 games through their U19 season. The players being awarded this scholarship were the heart and souls of the NHP Mountain Lions and the NHP Lady Lions.
We would also like to acknowledge that this great accomplishment comes only with the support and commitment of the player’s parents and coaches who realized that creating an atmosphere of fun and friends is just as important as winning. These players’ soccer résumés include several LIJSL 1st Place trophies, Waldbaums Championships, Sportsmanship Awards and even a State Cup Championship; but we hope what they remember most is the fun they had and the friends they made playing soccer in NHP. Good luck and success in college.
The NHP Wildcats S.C. Board of Directors is proud to present the following Student Athletes with our Scholarship Award:
