COACH OF THE YEAR 2019

Coach of the Year Nominations

The Coach of the Year Award recognises a coach, who has made a significant contribution during the year of the award, rather than over a period of time.

The Coaches awards are separated into elite and development categories, and is open to coaches who are either paid, receive an honorarium or volunteer. A salaried coach is not eligible.

An elite coach is defined as a coach who has responsibility for the “A Grade team”.
