Although the competitions are still a little way off, we’d like to bring your attention to a special award: the Coaching Award! While most categories are judged by the jury, there’s one award where you can have a say. Your coaches and co-coaches are doing outstanding work and deserve special recognition, which is why the best coaching will be awarded at every competition.

New this season: Not only can team members nominate their coaches for the award, but so can families, other coaches, and volunteers! This broadens the circle of people who can acknowledge the hard work of your coaches. The nomination process is simple, with a form you’ll receive on competition day—or you can check it out online in advance.

On the day of the competition, describe on the form why your coaches deserve the award. Convince the jury with creative and heartfelt reasons—whether it's through your coaches' tireless support, exceptional dedication, or innovative solutions to challenges. The jury will then decide who takes home the coveted Coaching Award trophy.

You can find all the details and the form here. Let’s celebrate the coaches who work tirelessly with passion and commitment for their teams every day!
