Bill Bosgraaf
Bill was born August 2, 1949 in Groningen, Netherlands. After
kicking the ball around in the streets for a couple of years, Bill joined the Lycurgus S.V. when he was eight years old and
played in their program until he moved to the United States in 1964. He joined the Vikings
S.C. for a year and then while playing at South High School (‘66-’68), where he was named to the State All-Star
Team each year, he played a year at Hollandia S.C. ,
followed by two years with S.C. Berlin. In 1968 he once again joined Hollandia S.C. until 1973 when Bill and his friends formed Pan World F.C. He
served as their president from 1973-’90 and their club’s dominance with the men’s team being voted “Club
of the Decade 1975-1984” and women’s team being voted “Club of the Decade 1985-1994” made them the
most prolific club in the first one hundred years of the Utah Soccer Association by winning fifteen State Championships between
the two teams. Furthermore, he served as commissioner of the Utah High School
Soccer Association from 1970-’82 and attained his State badge as a grade 5 referee in 1982. Bill became president of
the Utah Soccer Association in 1986, which position he still retains. His involvement in the USASA started in 1987 when he served for a year on
the Credentials Committee and later was appointed to be the Regional Select Teams Commissioner. This followed up by his appointment
in 1991 as the Committee’s Chairman until 2005. In 2002 he was elected
as the Region IV Deputy Director which was followed up by his election to the Regional Director position in 2005, a position
he currently holds and has served the USASA as part of their Executive Committee. His involvement in Select Teams Program is well documented and he
still serves as their liaison and works with our two USASA National Select Teams. During these years, Bill also has served

not soccer. In 1957, Sullivan moved to the Territory of Hawaii as
an accountant and has been involved as a volunteer in every facet of the game there for the last 33 years - - in youth, prison,
high school, collegiate, amateur and professional programs. Often referred to as "Mr. Soccer" in the state of Hawaii, Sullivan has served and promoted the sport as a coach, administrator,
area director, organizer, and fund raiser, and as a color commentator and columnist. As one of the American Youth Soccer Organization’s
(AYSO) initial coaches in Hawaii,

islands. Sullivan has coached over 20 teams and programs including at the Hawaii Youth Correctional Facility and at the Women’s
Prison. Sullivan was one of the founders of the University of Hawaii Division I women’s team and was general manager of the Hawaii Pacific University men’s program. Jack was instrumental in the development of
Honolulu’s Waipio Soccer Complex with 28 fields
