The Soccer Products of the Year Awards, known as the SPY™ Awards, is the kind of breakthrough opportunity every burgeoning company dreams about.

Just ask Frank Reeves, the president and founder of Rage Cage goals.

“This particular award show means everything,” Reeves said, echoing the sentiment of soccer companies around the country. “This is an unveiling for us, and this venue is the perfect opportunity. All the eyes in the soccer industry and community will be on this particular show.

“That sure beats showcasing in a catalogue.”

So get your party clothes in order; the SPY™ Awards are almost upon us and with them comes a prestigious honor for a select few product manufacturers.
