February 6/18 15:44 pm - Nominate a Coach for B.C. Coaching Awards


Posted by Editor on 02/6/18
 

The Coach of the Year Awards were founded by the Coaches Association of BC, funded by the Bob Bearpark Foundation. The Foundation continues to support viaSport in providing recognition awards for BC coaches in the following categories: Recreational/Grassroots, Regional/Provincial Development and International.

The purpose of the Coach of the Year Awards is to recognize dedication and commitment to coaching in British Columbia. Each recipient will be selected for their outstanding achievement in the category in which they have been nominated, and for their unique contribution to the advancement and well-being of athletes and their sport. The award does not reflect the accomplishment and contributions of the coach in any one year. It is designed to recognize contributions the coach has made to sport over a number of years.

Each recipient of a Coach of the Year Award will receive a $250 bursary from the Bob Bearpark Coaching Bursary Fund and will be honoured at the 2018 BC Sports Hall of Fame Induction Gala.

• Recreational / Grassroots - coach grassroots and recreational athletes at any age
