The USCSA has an incredible team of volunteers, coaches, and officials whom we recognize each year at our Annual Conference. Congratulations to the 2025 Award winners and thank you for your service to the USCSA!

Keystone Award History

Awarded to an individual that has been instrumental at the highest level assisting the USCSA President during the past season executing the mission of the organization. This individual has proven to be indispensable to the USCSA President. Their role has gone beyond that of a volunteer. They have chosen to work, often in the background, to assist the President executing their duties. Their efforts have ensured delivery of the best service possible to the organization and membership. Without the contributions of this person, the very success USCSA enjoys would be in jeopardy.
