The Gatorade Player of the year award was started in 1986. Every year Gatorade honors 608 athletes from 50 states (including Washington D.C.) and 12 different sports. Each GPOY is granted $1000 to support one of Gatorade’s social impact partners to continue to grow youth sports. 

The three main areas of evaluation for the award are: Athletic Excellence, Academic Achievement, and Exemplary Character. The athletic excellence category is evaluated based on standout performances at all levels of competition. Academic achievement looks at GPA, class rank, as well as standardized testing scores. The influence an athlete has on the community as well as the player’s sportsmanship and participation are included in the exemplary character category.
