Footballer
of the Week:
Bill Keserich
The 53rd annual Sport BC “Athlete
of the Year” awards gala was held Wednesday March 13th at the Fairmont Pacific
Rim.
Among
the many individual honours recognized was the BC Soccer nominated “Presidents
Award” in recognition of an individual who has gone above and beyond in the
game of soccer. This year, the honour was given to a man known as “Mr.
Soccer” in the Cowichan Valley, Bill Keserich.
From coaching in the Cowichan
Valley Soccer League, refereeing at every age level, to scheduling games and
still lining fields, Bill has served the game in almost every capacity
imaginable.
A Cowichan Valley Soccer
President since the 80’s, Keserich continues to mentor coaches and players
within the organization and was instrumental in helping build the club’s new
fieldhouse and synthetic turf fields at Sherman Road Park.
BC Soccer President Kjeld
Brodsgaard says the Sport BC Presidents award is tailor made for people like
Bill:
"Congratulations to Bill Keserich, who adds Sport BC’s “2019
Presidents Award Winner” to an already impressive list of honours!"
Congrats on being selected Footballer of the Week.
