The Most Improved Player Award is for the athlete who displayed the greatest amount of improvement and growth in their skills which contributed to the success of their team.

This year’s most improved award was a difficult award to give out. This individual was not a starter at the beginning of the year, and the coaching staff had a tough time finding a spot for him on the pitch even though he had a tremendous tryout. However, by the second half of the season he became our starting striker where he could utilize his speed and outstanding conditioning. His fearless play, humorous personality, and team first attitude helped inspire his team to give it their all in hopes of coming out on top. It is with great honor that this year’s Most Improved Award to sophomore Francisco Pinho of Malverne for Boy‘s JV B Soccer.

The Most Valuable Player Award is for the athlete whose contribution to the team contributed most towards that team’s success during the season.

Her humble and cheerful attitude at practice make her talents that much more notable. Her natural talents, along with her desire to succeed make Margo Montgomery of Malverne this season’s MVP.
