Andrew Fox and Michlle Miyamoto were awarded the male and female youth of the year in Castro Valley for their excellence and improved performance. Both passed their license in 2008, Andrew a Grade 8 and Michelle a Grade 9. Michelle enjoyed the game enough to upgrade to Grade 8 in 2009. In just 2 years, both are promising young referees to assume more responsibilities and more difficult game assignments in 2010.
Also, Andrew Mellor, a 2009 Grade 8 graduate, was awarded the "Iron Man" referee of the year by refereeing the most games - 53. His passion was shown by his enthusiasm to volunteer for All Star games and the Opening Night referee dunk tank.
