Coastal Valley Soccer Club

This scholarship is given as a loving testament to the passion and love of life embodied by Ben Paine who died July 10, 2006 while doing what he loved best; playing basketball. In a college paper, Ben wrote:

" I believe that you should never have to say I wish I did this or I could have done that…Nobody remembers the mishaps, but people definitely remember what they could have accomplished (had they tried).”
