Western Mass swept three of eight total awards at the "2022 Massachusetts State Referee Committee's (MSRC) Awards Night" on Sunday. Nigel Gayle of the Berkshire Soccer League took home the "Selfless Service" Award for going "above and beyond" in his role as Head Coach with BCYSL.

The RSL's Assistant Director Jeffrey Heinze (left) and our Head Referee Assignor Joe Santos (right) won MSRC's 2022 Instructor of the Year and 2022 Administrator of the Year respectively. For Joe this is the second time he has won honors for his work with Roots Soccer League having taken Assignor of the Year in 2017. Jeff, however, had only started Instructing Referee Courses at the beginning of 2022 - his outstanding feedback/scores were the highest in the entire State leading to this well deserved recognition!

Jeff and Joe, we are delighted to have you represent the Roots Soccer League!
