South County Youth Soccer Club is an important part of the fabric of our community. For a generation or more, through the Club’s competitive (“travel”) teams and recreational (“rec”) teams, soccer skills have been developed, values like sportsmanship and teamwork have been fostered, and friendships have been formed between players, coaches, and families. Central to the Club’s success was always Shirley Testa, who for more than twenty-two years - up to her retirement in 2021 - served the Club in multiple roles, including as its Registrar and Office Manager. 

To honor Shirley’s time and dedication to SCYSC, the Board of Directors renamed its annual scholarship to the: SCYSC Shirley Testa College Scholarship. In addition to SCYSC typical criteria for scholarship winner(s) selection: (your time with SCYSC and playing soccer, volunteerism) we also seek candidates who exhibit similar behaviors and characteristics that Shirley demonstrated and were important to her while she was with the Club.
