The Annual Sport Wales Coach of the Year Awards honour the outstanding contributions made by dedicated sports coaches and volunteers throughout Wales.
From elite level to the very grassroots, the Coach of the Year Awards recognise the very best of Welsh sport.
Anyone can nominate their favorite coach or volunteer and there are numerous different categories to choose from.
This year’s event is scheduled to take place on Wednesday 16th November 2011, 12pm, at the Sport Wales National Centre in Cardiff.
After an inspirational celebration of coaching and volunteering in Wales in 2010, we now need your help to make 2011 even bigger and better.
We need your help to achieve this:
· Please make your colleagues and partners aware that the nomination process for 2011 is now open. Nomination information can be found at: http://www.sportwales.org.uk/news--events/news--events/events-calendar/coach-of-the-year-awards-2011-.aspx.
· We would like you to submit details of winners from your own sports awards to our national competition.
· Work in your authority/sport to ensure that those who are going the extra mile are recognised with a nomination.
· We have developed a web button for you to use on your websites which links through to the Coach of the Year page. A Guide of how to use the web buttons is attached.
· The nomination process will close on Friday 23rd September 2011.
Please note that the list of categories has been tweaked slightly, following feedback from last year’s event. The categories now aim to reflect our coaching and volunteering work.
