Optimist Youth Football is proud to launch a new initiative that shines a spotlight on what truly makes the game great: character, leadership, and sportsmanship. Thanks to the generous support of Kendall Auto Group, we’re introducing a recognition program that honors the heart of youth football—players and coaches who lead by example.

Each week, referees select one player and one coach who exemplify outstanding sportsmanship and leadership. These individuals are recognized for their positive attitude, teamwork, and ability to inspire others—on the field and beyond. Every Optimist team and club is eligible for recognition, and honorees are celebrated across our social media platforms.
This program goes beyond the game—it’s about recognizing future leaders. By honoring integrity, respect, and resilience, we highlight the life lessons youth football teaches every day.
We’re deeply grateful to Kendall Auto Group for championing this program and supporting the Optimist mission:
Teaching youth important life lessons while letting them have fun playing football.Their commitment to community and character development helps us ensure that every child who steps onto the field walks away with more than just a game—they walk away with values that last a lifetime.
