A big congratulations to all of the 2026 KYSA “Of the Year” recipients, including LYSA TOPSoccer’s very own Spencer Brandenburg, TOPSoccer Coach of the Year, and Michael Barnett, TOPSoccer Buddy of the Year! 🎉

Spencer and Michael have each made a tremendous difference in the lives of our athletes and families through the relationships they build and the support they provide. Those same qualities extend to the many volunteers they recruit, encourage, and mentor, which helps make LYSA TOPSoccer stronger for everyone involved.

We’re so grateful for all they do and thrilled to see them receive this well-deserved recognition!⚽💙

Congratulations to all of the 2026 KYSA Gompper Scholarship recipients, including LYSA TOPSoccer’s very own Luke Majors! 🎉

Luke has been a dedicated volunteer with our program for the past three years, serving as a lead buddy and assistant coach along the way. In recognition of his contributions, he was honored as the 2025 KYSA TOPSoccer Buddy of the Year.

We wish Luke all the best as he heads to Centre College this fall to continue his education and play soccer! ⚽💙
