Description
October 2026 Youth Athlete of the Month


Background:

The City established a Youth Athlete of the Month program on February 13, 2018 via resolution 18-18 as a way of recognizing outstanding youth athletes from the Sunrise recreational, travel and instructional sport programs.

 

The program recognizes two youth athletes (one male and one female) from different athletic programs each month.  The Leisure Services Advisory Board administers the selection process for City run programs using nominations submitted by volunteer coaches. The City's contractual athletic organizations and instructors administer the selection process for their own individual organization. 

 

Each recipient will receive a City of Sunrise Leisure Services voucher valued at $25.00, which is redeemable as payment towards any Leisure Services Program, excluding programs at The Bridges at Springtree Golf Club and the Sunrise Tennis Club.  Recipients also receive a certificate of recognition from the City.
