NWSL awards


The National Women's Soccer League presents six annual awards to individual players. The Golden Boot award is presented to the top scorer at the end of the regular season, while the Most Valuable Player, Defender of the Year, Goalkeeper of the Year, Rookie of the Year, and Coach of the Year awards are voted on by various league constituents. the NWSL's individual end-of-year awards are voted upon in two rounds: in the first round, players, owners/general managers/coaches, and media vote to determine the nominees; in the second round, players, owners/general managers/coaches, media, and fans vote among the nominees to determine the winner.
In addition, the league also presents two teams of the season awards, the NWSL Best XI and the NWSL Second XI, to individual players.
