2019 – Robb HughesBU10 MAYLATH AWARD
The Maylath Award is an annual award given to a Boys U10 Coach and is presented at the end of the fall season each year in memory of an AYSO Volunteer named Edward "Ed" Dean Maylath.
Born in August 17, 1938 in Illinois, Ed Maylath came to California in 1949, moving to Claremont in 1968 with his wife, Darlene, and sons, Kevin and Jeffery. Ed was an enthusiastic, well-liked person. He was popular with his fellow coaches.
An assistant manager at Security Pacific Bank, Ed was also studying law. In 1970, during his first season as coach of his son's team, he died as a result of injuries from an automobile accident. He was 32. Subsequently, the coaches of the division decided to inaugurate an award in memory of Ed Maylath. The award then goes (by vote of fellow coaches in that division each year) to the person who typifies the spirit and enthusiasm, which Ed Maylath brought to the Claremont AYSO program.

BASKETT AWARD
The Baskett Award is Claremont Region 3's outstanding service award, presented annually.
Born March 27, 1927, in Kansas, William R. "Bill" Baskett came to California as a boy. He resided in Claremont with his wife, Constance, and three children, Sally, Paul, and Robert. Bill was among the first division commissioners in Claremont AYSO, having been Commissioner of Division 1 Boys in 1974-75. At this time there were three divisions in AYSO: ages 13-15, Division 1; ages 10-12, Division 2; ages 7-9, Division 3.
Bill also coached his sons Paul and Robert in AYSO. Bill stressed the concept that "Everyone Plays!" He also believed that the pressure to "win, win, win" had no place in the AYSO program. He placed tremendous value in fair play and equal opportunity for all players, regardless of their experience or ability.
In 1975, Bill was traveling on business for General Dynamics when his Ontario-to-Los Angeles Commuter plane collided with a private plane and Bill was killed. He was 47. The Claremont AYSO Board established this Memorial Award in Bill's name to recognize individuals who have contributed greatly to Claremont AYSO.
