ScholarshipsThe Frank Jarosi Memorial Soccer Scholarship
was established in 1991 as a tribute to one of the organizers
of Central Ohio soccer programs. Frank Jarosi died
in 1985 of injuries four months after being struck by lightning
during a State Cup tournament. The inception of the
Frank Jarosi Memorial Soccer Tournament in 1986 was the result
of a wish for lasting tribute from the Central Ohio Soccer
Association. In 1995 the tournament's name was changed
to the Jarosi/Willis Memorial Soccer Tournament to also serve
as a memorial to Mick Willis, who served as MOSSL
president and Jarosi Tournament Director from 1987 to 1995. The
tournament draws over 200 teams annually. Proceeds
from this tournament have been used to improve soccer facilities
for youth in the central Ohio community. The Association's
directors have established an annual scholarship program
for graduating seniors from any accredited high school in
the Central Ohio area who have participated in a high school
or club soccer program.
