Coaches Legacy Awardees

In recognition of the many influential coaches who have served in our association and have selflessly strengthened our sport(s) through teaching, mentoring, and promoting our profession, the Coaches Committee has created the Legacy Coach Award.
Criterion is weighted heavily on coaches who were not only great coaches, but who also inspired, trained, and mentored many of us to become coaches themselves.
