TRURO WEATHER 
The Kate Adams Passion for Soccer Award
Kate Adams was a dedicated and passionate member of the club for many years, serving as both an executive and a coach while also watching her own children take the field. Her love for the sport extended beyond her own participation; she actively mentored and recruited others to play and coach, leaving a lasting impact on those around her. During her university years, she played at Saint Marys University while completing her bachelor's degree, and she remained involved in the local senior women’s team, demonstrating her lifelong commitment to the game.
Kate will be remembered for her beauty and strength, especially in life’s toughest moments. Her outgoing personality, loving yet fiercely competitive spirit, and exceptional athletic ability defined her both on and off the field—traits that her friends often noted she passed down to her children. Her toughness was unmatched, and she never wavered in her values, including her well-known intolerance for tardiness. Those who knew her best will always cherish the energy, leadership, and love she brought to everything she did.
This award honors a player who embodies the true spirit of soccer—not just in skill, but in passion and dedication. Inspired by Kate’s love for the game and the way she encouraged others, this award recognizes a player registered with a competitive team who meets the following criteria:

- Passion for Soccer - Applicants must submit a short letter (0.5-1 page) explaining why they love soccer and why it is important in their life. This personal reflection is a key part of the selection process.
- Rising Star - This award is not about being the most skilled player, but rather recognizing a hardworking athlete who shows competitive drive, full effort on and off the field, and a commitment to sportsmanship and fairness. It serves as encouragement for them to continue growing in the sport.
- Leadership & Community Impact - Preference will be given to players who give back to the game, particularly through coaching, mentorship, or leadership within their soccer community. Kate’s greatest influence was through coaching, and this award seeks to honor that legacy.
Award Details:
- The recipient(s) will have their registration fees paid for the upcoming season, helping to support their continued participation in soccer.
