YUMA, Ariz. – Arizona Western College Men's Soccer head coach Kenny Dale will receive an NJCAA Coaches Legacy Award next week at the NJCAA Coaches Legacy Awards Luncheon preceding the 2025 NJCAA Hall of Fame and Awards event on Tuesday, June 17 in Charlotte, N.C.

The NJCAA Coaches Legacy Awards, presented by Nufabrx, honor the all-time winningest coaches in the history of the NJCAA. Dale has 329 career wins as the head soccer coach of both the men's and women's programs at Arizona Western College and Cochise College.

Dale, who started his NJCAA coaching career at Cochise College, arrived at Arizona Western in 2005 and has led the Matadors' men's soccer program to five appearances, including a current run of four consecutive appearances, at the NJCAA DI Men's Soccer Championship, with a pair of runner-up finishes.

Dale played an integral role in building the women's soccer program at Arizona Western, coaching the program's first two seasons, posting a 26-10-7 record in those two seasons, and appearing in the Region I quarterfinals twice.

Dale is one of two Arizona Western coaches honored with an NJCAA Coaches Legacy Award, joining former Arizona Western and current Blinn College Softball coach Rick Church.
