Cheryl Flanagan Memorial Scholarship

Stoughton Youth Soccer will always be grateful to Cheryl Flanagan for her dedication to our league.  Cheryl was a board member and coach for over sixteen years. Her unwavering commitment to SYSL even after her children graduated from the program was immeasurable. From coaching, to concession stand duty, field clean-up, assisting with tournaments, processing registration, processing payments, and more, Cheryl was always giving of herself and her time.

Sadly Cheryl lost a long and courageous battle with breast cancer in April of 2008. It is with honor that we renamed our scholarship the Stoughton Youth Soccer Cheryl Flanagan Memorial Scholarship. We feel it is a fitting tribute to our friend.

 

Scholarship guidelines 

The Stoughton Youth Soccer Memorial Scholarships are open to deserving Stoughton residents who will be graduating from high school and attending either a 2 or 4 year college.  The applicant needs to have participated in SYSL as a player as well as shown the same dedication and commitment to SYSL that Cheryl did. Greatest consideration will be given to those candidates who have refereed, coached or volunteered for the league.​
