Gatorade Player of the Year awards#Soccer

{{Short description|Awards given to high school student-athletes in the United States}}

{{Use mdy dates|date=July 2019}}

The Gatorade Player of the Year awards are given annually to up and coming high school student-athletes in the United States.{{cite web | url = http://playeroftheyear.gatorade.com/about | title = A History of Honoring the Future | work = Gatorade Player of the Year | publisher = Stokely-Van Camp, Inc. | access-date = July 11, 2019 | archive-date = November 15, 2017 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20171115000109/http://playeroftheyear.gatorade.com/about | url-status = dead }}{{cite web | title = Gatorade Player of the Year Award | publisher = ESPN | work = ESPN High School SPORTS | url = http://rise.espn.go.com/all-sports/Gatorade/Gatorade-POY-2010-2011.aspx | access-date = October 24, 2011 | url-status = dead | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20111031083943/http://rise.espn.go.com/all-sports/Gatorade/Gatorade-POY-2010-2011.aspx | archive-date = October 31, 2011}} They are given for boys baseball, boys and girls basketball, boys and girls cross country, boys football, boys and girls soccer, boys and girls track & field, girls softball, and girls volleyball.

A "State Player of the Year" award is given to the best student-athlete in each of the twelve sports in the District of Columbia and each of the fifty states, where each sport is recognized as an interscholastic sport.{{cite web | title = Gatorade State High School Players of the Year | url = http://playeroftheyear.gatorade.com/winner/state | work = Gatorade Player of the Year | publisher = Stokely-Van Camp, Inc. | access-date = July 12, 2019}} Selection is based on three criteria: athletic achievement, academic excellence, and exemplary character (including sportsmanship, and participation in community and other activities). Twelve "National Player of the Year" awards are then given, to the best student-athlete in each of the twelve sports, chosen from the state winners in the respective sport.{{cite web | title = Gatorade Player of the Year All-Time National Winners | work = Gatorade Player of the Year | publisher = Stokely-Van Camp, Inc. | url = http://playeroftheyear.gatorade.com/winner/national | access-date = July 12, 2019 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20190331015449/http://playeroftheyear.gatorade.com/winner/national | archive-date = March 31, 2019 | url-status = dead }}

Finally, one male Athlete of the Year and one female Athlete of the Year are selected from the twelve National Player of the Year recipients. The two winners are voted on by a national panel with about 400 sports journalists, coaches, and others. The two athletes of the year, Cooper Flagg and Sadie Engelhardt, received their awards at a special ceremony prior to The ESPY Awards.

The Gatorade Company established the awards in 1986. The selection process was administered by ESPN RISE which was ESPN's division for high-school sports. The selection process is currently run by the Gatorade Player of the Year Selection Committee.

Past national winners include Peyton Manning and Emmitt Smith for football, LeBron James and Kobe Bryant for basketball, Allyson Felix for track and field, and Kerri Walsh for volleyball.
