The Virginia Tech athletics department has announced the creation of the Hokies Youth Sport Spotlight program presented by Virginia529.
The program is designed to promote participation and good sportsmanship throughout youth sports while helping to grow the next generation of Hokies.
During the upcoming 2021-22 athletic season, Tech will recognize a youth team player or coach who has shown a propensity to be active in their community and a steward of VT’s motto, Ut Prosim (That I May Serve).
Due to NCAA rules, youth must be in the sixth grade or younger during the 2021-22 academic year. Selections will be made by Virginia Tech Athletics representatives.
Individuals who are selected for recognition will receive the following: an announcement on HokieSports.com and the @hokiesports social media platforms, a certificate to send to each person recognizing him or her, an autographed item from a Virginia Tech coaching staff member, and the opportunity to be recognized at various athletic events throughout the year.
