2015 MLS Community MVP Grand Prize Winners
The YCSC was selected to represent the Timbers MLS Club for our efforts in using the game of soccer to make a difference in our community. Our rural community of Yamhill Carlton and our amazing friends from the Timbers Army, our non-stop voting bank of local players, friends and families of YCSC helped us to out vote all 20 MLS clubs and major communities in North America (and by a long shot, we were told!) Our players had their fingers on the "red" button non-stop for a month with the most incredible "we can do this" attitude! Congratulations to all for a well earned victory! It was a great lesson in believing in the power of a community and working together tirelessly to achieve our goal!
2017 & 2018 Community Service Award
Dedicated and generous coaches like Nora Leonard (the fearless leader of the U10-U12 Yellow Jackets) helped to start the YC Soccer Club and volunteered for more than 10 years. Individuals like Nora are what make YCSC great and our community strong. Not only did she volunteer her time for all things soccer for these players, but she was also a leader for their amazing volunteer work with the Willamette Valley Cancer Foundation. Coach Nora instilled leadership, compassion, an appreciation of hard work and a real love of the game. We salute her and encourage others to follow in her footsteps!
