Goodband Award

The Goodband Award was established in the fall of 2010, to be given in memory of long-time Belmont Hill Coach Cliff Goodband, who served his school and the Independent School League for 36 years. The Goodband Award seeks to honor, when merited, a member or an alumnus of the league who has either courageously faced adversity himself or who has helped others to overcome adversity, and thereby endeavors to emulate the virtues of both courage and service that Cliff Goodband exemplified throughout life.

Mark H. Blood Soccer Trophy

The Blood Trophy, first awarded in 1985, was established in reaction to the group's growing concern over violence in league play and in memory of a longtime stalwart member of the group, Marc Blood of Groton. The trophy "is awarded to the team that, in the opinion of the other ISL teams, best exemplified the spirit of the game of soccer through its enthusiasm, effort, sportsmanship, dignity, and competitiveness... a team that both earned your respect and was an enjoyable opponent." Each team votes at the season's end and brings to the final meeting an ordered list of its three selections. A team is not allowed to nominate itself. Tabulation of the votes is completed at the end-of-season ISL Coaches meeting.
