We host our annual awards event to celebrate the season gone by, honor the dedication of our players, and reflect on the special moments we’ve shared. It’s a time to relive the highs, recognize hard work and growth, and come together as a club to remember why we love the game.
These players are loyal Whitecaps that have been selected for their exceptional abilities on the soccer field, in the classroom, and in our community. Each receives a $400 CAPS Tuition Credit to be applied to an upcoming season.

The Taylor Award began with the Taylor Family back in 1999. Their son Nick was in the third graduating class for Whitecaps. The Taylors made an overpayment to their account and asked that instead of receiving a refund, they would like to donate the money to a graduating senior, that had been a loyal Whitecap, and was going on to play college soccer. These players now receive a $300 scholarship from the Booster Club.
