It takes a village to raise a leader, and these four graduates are the perfect example of our community at its best!
We are thrilled to award this year's GRAA Scholarships to four exceptional students from the Class of 2026. Each of them grew up in GRAA programs and continued to dedicate their time, leadership, and teamwork to making our organization better throughout high school, all while maintaining excellent academic standing.

Any player, parent, guardian or spectator who has complaints, comments or suggestions with anyone connected with any program activity (coaches, other spectators, players or officials, etc), for any reason, should wait 24 hours before approaching any coach, sport commissioner or GRAA Board sport liaison with those complaints, comments or suggestions. Officials (referees, umpires etc.) should never be approached by players, parents, guardians or spectators during or after games.
This rule is intended to let all have a cooling/calming down period. After that time, the first thing to do is to discuss the problem with the coach or assistant coach. If necessary, the sport commissioner and/or GRAA Board sport liaison may be included. It is the GRAA Board’s opinion that, after waiting the required period of time, everyone will be able to discuss any issue in a more appropriate manner and setting. Please visit graa.org/contact for contact info.
