Jim McCarthy Award Recipients ~ 2016



Presenting the awards this year was NAC Board Member John Sykes. Mr. Sykes is NAC's Soccer Director, with over 30 years experience in coaching, developing players, and running the former Interboro Soccer Club program. This year’s recipients are Nick Frantz and Stephanie DiDomenicis.  Both Nick and Stephanie were true leaders on and off the field.  They took great pride in helping with Interboro’s indoor, spring and fall programs for the past few years.  Soccer Director, John Sykes, said, “their dedication and professionalism was the key to our success. I relied on both of them tremendously, and they did not disappoint. In fact, they exceeded my expectations.”

Nick will be attending Penn State (Main) in the fall, and Stephanie will be attending Gettysburg.  Interboro will miss these valuable volunteers, and hope to see them back in the future to help coach or volunteer within the organization.
