Executive Director Zlatko Tomic with SRFC players
March 22, 2023, San Ramon, CA
In a ceremony held at the San Ramon Community Center, San Ramon FC celebrated the achievements of its student athletes. Players were recognized for their academic success while playing soccer for the club in the fall of 2022. To receive the award, student athletes had to meet the minimum GPA requirement of 3.85 or better and play on a club team in either the recreational or competitive program.
San Ramon FC's Executive Director Zlatko Tomic and Board President Tim Coats both spoke at the beginning of the event. Mr. Tomic then proceeded to recognize the award recipients, reading the names of the student athletes in attendance as they came forward for a handshake, fist bump, and a hearty congratulations. Each student athlete had the opportunity to receive a certificate, a scholar athlete t-shirt, and a scholar athlete magnet from the club.
San Ramon FC is proud of its student athletes and is honored to celebrate their success each year with its Scholar Athlete Awards Night. Below you will find the names of the student athletes who received the award for the 2022 fall season along with a photo album slideshow from the event.
For 2023, the club chose Justin Ghobrial and Regan Stiner as the scholarship recipients. Both were honored with a $500 scholarship from San Ramon FC. Justin plays for San Ramon FC's 2005B NPL team and Regan plays for the San Ramon FC 2005G NPL team. Congratulations to Justin and Regan and thank you to all of the seniors who took the time to write essays and apply for the scholarship.
Each year, San Ramon FC awards two scholarships to its graduating seniors. Interested seniors are asked to apply for the Bob Loney Memorial Student-Athlete Scholarship and also to write an essay on a topic related to their experience with youth soccer. After reading through all of the applications and the well written essays by the seniors, club staff had the difficult decision of narrowing it down to just two recipients.
The scholarship is named after Bob Loney, a much admired educator in the San Ramon community and member of the club. He taught at Windermere Ranch Middle School in San Ramon and his children play(ed) soccer at San Ramon FC. Mr. Loney volunteered his time serving on the club's Board of Directors and also coached in the Recreational program. The club honors his memory and the positive impact he had on both students and athletes with its annual scholarship that bears his name.
