David "Mr. Soccer" Maiers
(posthumously)
Dave Maiers gave blood, sweat, tears and more to the youth and adult soccer communities in Dubuque.  As a Founder of numerous youth and adult organizations, and as a member of their Baords, he had his hand in the development of players, recruitment and retention of referees, promotion and support of events, and the devleopment and maintenance of the Dubuque Soccer Complex.  Known by most as "Mr. Soccer" because of his total commitment to all levels of play, he inspired America's River Soccer Classic Tournament officials to share proceeds with numerous causes over the years.  In his memory, the 2008 event was called "America's River Mr. Soccer Classic".
 
  Timothy G. Pearson
Coach, Founder, Tournament Director, Administrator, President, Ambassador...synonymous with Tim Pearson and soccer in Iowa.  Getting his start in the Urbandale Soccer Club by coaching his sons, he eventually won seven State Cup championships, helped cutlivate both a tournament and a complex where it could be held, and led the Greater Des Moines Junior Soccer League before joining the Iowa Soccer Association Board.  Tim served as Board President during a time in which Iowa hosted both Regional and National Championships.  Known as both charismatic and as a class act, his ability to lead and get the most out of others is legendary.

Update:  The 2009 Awards and Recognition Celebration scheduled for June 15 has been cancelled due to economic considerations. We will continue to take nominations for awards and will recognize any 2009 award winners.

The Awards and Recognition Celebration is an annual event that was to be held in mid-June 2009, designed to bring together a wide range of community members for a celebration of soccer in Iowa.  We feature multimedia, much of which is contributed by participants, as a key component of the event.

In addition to presenting annual awards, we induct Hall of Fame members, and recognize our State Cup Championship teams.  Each year we expand this group to feature anyone or any team who has had a marked achievement in the last year.
Date **Cancelled**
