At the heart of every successful student experience is a coach who inspires, leads, and empowers. NSAA
activities are the other half of education—cultivating character, perseverance, and community. These
transformative experiences across 24 sports and 5 activities would not be possible without the unwavering
dedication of coaches in our member schools.
To honor these exceptional leaders, the NSAA is proud to announce that nominations are open for our
Champions for Coaches program—an initiative that celebrates active coaches who go above and beyond for
students, schools, and communities. We invite students, administrators, parents/guardians, and community
members to nominate coaches who embody this spirit of excellence.
Nomination Deadline: Monday, January 27, 2025
