All applications will be reviewed by Team Sports Travel and the top 5 will be forwarded to San Diego Section of CIF for final selection. Weekly recipients will be interviewed by KUSI's Sports Division and awarded a letterman's jacket patch and will be announced each Thursday evening beginning October 1, 2009 through May 6, 2010 on KUSI News.
In addition all weekly winners and their coach will be honored at an awards banquet in May, 2010 at which time the yearly Citizen Athlete will be awarded a $1000 scholarship and a family cruise vacation for four.
