Coaching Manitoba Excellence Awards
Presented by Manitoba Lotteries
General Information
PURPOSE
The Coaching Manitoba Excellence Awards aim to recognize and celebrate the outstanding achievements and significant contributions coaches have made to their athletes and their sport through coaching.
The selection of recipients is based on their unique contribution to sport through the continued development of their athletes. The award does not reflect the accomplishments and contributions of a coach in any one-year; rather, the awards are designed to acknowledge the contributions a coach has made to his/her sport and athletes over a number of years.
AWARD CATEGORIES
The Excellence Awards have four categories. The category refers to the type of athlete the coach is primarily responsible for, with the exception of the School System category, which refers to a coach who is a paid employee of a school.
When appropriate the Excellence Awards will also recognize two additional categories: Years of Service and International Coach.
Nomination Deadline is February 10th, 2010.
