More than a dozen local soccer players were nominated by their coaches for BLITZ Player of the Year consideration. These young men led their team on the pitch in 2018.

As always, these are NOT for public voting.

WHAT’S NEXT? The nominees list will be narrowed down into a finalist pool. Our BLITZ voting panel, consisting of up to 20 members, will vote Heisman-style to determine the Player of the Year. This voting will take place only once all spring sports teams have closed the 2018 season.
