Golden Whistle Referee Award


The Golden Whistle award is presented annually to a referee that has shown outstanding service to Upland A.Y.S.O. Region 32. It is not an award to the referee that has done the most number of games, but rather to the referee that embodies the spirit and philosophy of A.Y.S.O. and has provided service to the players and to the region. The ideal candidate will have been a referee for at least five years, has advanced beyond Regional Referee and has assisted the A.Y.S.O. program in more than just refereeing. Perhaps as a Coach, Board Member, Instructor, Referee Staff, or a volunteer in some other capacity.

We would like to Honor those referees that have been honored with the Golden Whistle.
