Ballston Spa’s Andrew Werner Receives Regional Honor

BALLSTON SPA —The Eastern New York Youth Soccer Association (ENYYSA) announces that the Girls Competitive Coach of the Year Andrew Werner has also selected by the East Region as their award winner. 

Werner was nominated by Ballston Spa Soccer Club President Rob Smarz, as well as the parents of two of his players. The Girls-Under-12 team that Werner coaches plays in the Capital District Youth Soccer League (CDYSL). 

“I’ve never seen a volunteer youth coach put in what Andrew puts in to his team. He lives and breathes his job as a detective with the New York State Troopers and does the same with his daughter’s soccer team, for all the right reasons,” wrote Smarz.

The Eastern New York Youth Soccer Association (ENYYSA) has approximately 100,000 youth soccer players––both boys and girls––and more than 25,000 volunteers. ENYYSA promotes and enhances the game of soccer for children and teenagers between the ages of 5 and 19 years old, and encourages the healthy development of youth players, coaches, referees and administrators.
