Coach Joe Maldonado!
The year 2020 would have been Joe's 18th season of coaching soccer for RYSC. He recently was quoted as saying: "I really can’t explain how much I miss coaching. This year I would’ve coached (4) soccer teams and our oldest team would’ve had Kaden and Cole on the same team! (two of his sons)
One of Joe's famous lines is: “Ain’t Life Wonderful!” and that statement truly reflects how Joe lives his life and coaches the game... to the fullest.
Joe, this award is in appreciation of your Commitment and Devotion to the Principles and Ideals of Our Club and the Exemplary Leadership and Selfless Acts of Time and Dedication for the Youth of Our Community.
