The Alan Albergaria Coaching Award
About the award

Coaches are integral to our organization. Without them, we simply could not operate. They are the ones who make our mission of providing an enjoyable, safe and quality soccer experience for our kids a reality.
Coaches bring our vision of integrity, sportsmanship and teamwork to life. And some do this effortlessly. With enthusiasm. With dedication. With passion. Our coaches deserve to be celebrated. This is why, in 2021, we established the Alan Albergaria Coaching Award. This award is presented annually to a coach who has gone above and beyond for the children of South County and the South County Youth Soccer Club. |

Michael Imbriglio, Oct 27, 1964 - Feb 7, 2021

2020-2021: Michael ImbriglioMichael coached youth soccer for 18 years, including xx years for SCYSC. Coach Mike genuinely cared about pushing everyone to reach their fullest potential. On any team he coached, no child was left overlooked, without a ride, without cleats, shin guards, a ball, or anything else they needed to participate. No matter what the circumstance was, he made sure every child had the opportunity to play and gain values of teamwork, discipline, and respect that extended well beyond the game of soccer. Coach Mike volunteered to coach any team in need of a leader, regardless of age group, gender, or skill level. We are incredibly grateful he chose to be a part of our Club and are honored to present his family with the inaugural SCYSC Alan Albergaria Coaching Award.
