We are excited to announce Ultiworld’s 1st annual college awards, including the Ultiworld Player Of The Year in both the Men’s and Women’s Division, presented by VC Ultimate.
After an exciting college season, we have already evaluated a number of candidates across multiple award categories, but will be including the College Series and College Championships in our assessment of players, as the postseason’s importance is greater than ever.
We will be giving out awards, which include commemorative jerseys and shorts designed and created by VC Ultimate, in the following categories for both the Men’s and Women’s Divisions:
– Player Of The Year: The Ultiworld Player of the Year award will be given to the player that, in the eyes of the Ultiworld Editors, is the year’s most outstanding player and combines excellence on the field with hard work and dedication to the sport.
– Offensive Player Of The Year: The Offensive Player of the Year award will be given to that player that is deemed to be the most valuable on offense.
– Defensive Player Of The Year: The Defensive Player of the Year award will be given to that player that is deemed to be the most valuable on defense.
– Rookie Of The Year: The Rookie of the Year award will be given to the country’s most outstanding college freshman.

– Breakout Player Of The Year: The Breakout Player of the Year award will be given to a rising junior or senior that has shown outstanding growth as a player in terms of their role, impact, and importance to the team’s performance.
