CJSL Honors Carlo Bucich Fair Play Award Winners

The Cosmopolitan Junior Soccer League extends its sincere gratitude to all of our member clubs, coaches, families, and most importantly, the players who made the Spring 2025 season such a tremendous success.

This season, we proudly recognize the U7–U10 divisions—specifically the U7–U8 (4v4), U8 (7v7), and U9–U10 (7v7) age groups—as they represent the beginning of the player pathway. These early years are crucial to growth, skill-building, and learning the values that define our league.

In honor of this commitment to the game and the spirit of youth development, CJSL is proud to present the Carlo Bucich Fair Play Award to selected teams in these divisions.

“This award sets the tone for a player’s journey—one built on respect, teamwork, and passion for the game,” said Dimitrie Draguca, CJSL League Director. “We honor these teams not just for their performance, but for the way they carried themselves on and off the field.”
