The Tucson Soccer Academy is proud to announce that Christian Garcia is the 20011-12 recipient of the Nicholson Scholarship Award.

The Nicholson Scholarship is named after Mike Nicholson, the late husband of TSA board member Cathy Nicholson. Mike passed away a few years ago and was a long-time supporter of TSA. The scholarship is chosen by the league coaches.

“It’s an honor to be given this,’’ said Garcia, 16, a member of the 95 Boys Red team. “I know a lot of really good players have received this award. It gives me more reason to play and do well and work harder.’’
