Spring 2023 Shield Award Night

On Saturday, May 6th, 2023 we had an exciting night at our seasonal Shield Award Night! More than 850 players have been recognized this season for their display of NCFC Youth’s core values: Have fun, commit to excellence, cultivate community, encourage innovation, and demonstrate passion. More than 530 of those recipients attended and got on-field recognition during halftime at the North Carolina Courage match! Recipients got to attend Fan Fest before the match to receive their Shield Award memento and take part in inflatables, face painting, balloon artists, vendors, interactive games and more. At half-time, our Shield Award recipients were recognized in front of a stadium of friends, family, and fans! The NC Courage also had fifth largest regular season crown in club history this night with the help of our Shield Award recipients, their family and friends in attendance.

Congratulations to our Shield Award Recipients!

Thank you to our Shield Award sponsor, Blue Cross NC, for helping us recognize players for their sportsmanship, positive attitude, respect and more. See the full list of recipients here.
