In 2010 the NAGWS President Shawn Ladda joined President Obama in honoring Sky Blue FC, the 2009 Women's Professional Soccer League Champion. Eight Northeast Area soccer players were invited to visit the White House, see President Obama, and be a part of commending outstanding athletes.
Obama congratulated Sky Blue FC for their perseverance through three coaching changes during the season. He also recognized and was impressed by the team being victorious in three straight road games within the span of eight days to claim the inaugural WPS Championship.
