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. 

A long term coach can also receive a ‘Service to University Sport’ award, however, the Coach award is to recognise a significant contribution during the year of the award.

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”.
