Each of the four regions in the US selects one representative and the US TOPSoccer Buddy of the Year is selected from those four representatives. Alyssa was not selected as the National Winner but greatly enjoyed the opportunity to represent LYSA and our program. This is the second year in a row that a volunteer from our program has won the Kentucky award and gone on to be the Region II states representative. Congratulations Alyssa!
