SECTION TWO MANNY HERSCHEL AWARD
Area Volunteer Of The Year
The Manny Herschel Award is given annually at the Section 2
SAGM to a deserving individual from each Area in Section 2. The award was named after Manny Hirschel and
first given to him at SAGM in 2000 with the plan to give it out in subsequent
years to other worthy members of AYSO. Manny has given many years of unselfish leadership, knowledge,
commitment, and effort to the betterment of AYSO, at many levels, and to its
players having safe, fun, and fair experiences. The award is intended to be given for long-term contributions at the
National, Section, Area, and/or Regional level; however the winner has
typically had an impact at multiple levels. Nominees are individuals who have been role models for volunteers and
for players. Their actions epitomize the
values and philosophy of AYSO.
