In early November, Red Bull Youth Programs coaches from across New York and New Jersey gathered for the end-of-season coaches’ game, an exciting event where all five regional areas, plus RDS/Pre-Academy, compete against each other to battle it out for the Coaches Cup.
As part of this event, we took a moment to look back and celebrate some of our high-performing coaches and the impact they have on the players and communities they work with. The awards highlight each coach's contributions in areas such as player connection, teaching ability, and teamwork.
