TWINFIELD-CABOT-DANVILLE – The Vermont Soccer Officials Association (VSOA) announced their 2025 Sportsmanship Awards last week, with the Cal United girls soccer program and community receiving high honors for their fair play on the pitch.
The Fair Haven and U-32 girls soccer programs received top honors as Vermont’s premier 2025 Sportsmanship teams by the VSOA. Cal United, South Burlington, Richford, MSJ, Stratton and Randolph were all mentioned as highly rated finalist teams. Cal United head coach Spencer Morse led his program to their second home playoff berth in three seasons since taking over the three-school cooperative made up of Twinfield, Cabot and Danville.
On the boys side, Enosburg and Sharon Academy were named as Vermont’s premier 2025 Sportsmanship teams by the VSOA. The Finalists included Otter Valley, Brattleboro, West Rutland, Richford, Essex and BFA-Fairfax. Enosburg, U-32, Sharon Academy and Fair Haven are organizing events to honor their teams and VSOA officials will attend to present the teams with a banner and certificates.
Former Hazen Union teacher and coach Marvin Pritchard, who was recently inducted into the Vermont Hall of Fame as a longtime official, released the following statement as the current VSOA President, “Congratulations to the teams selected for the 2025 VSOA inaugural Sportsmanship Award. The school, community and soccer official relationship that you have developed is a model for others to emulate in the future. You have been chosen by soccer officials who respect your passion for the game while always exhibiting the highest level of sportsmanship,”
