A 2021 virtual event to be held this April will recognize major career accomplishments of coaches. Nominations are due in just a few days.

 

The annual Sport Manitoba Coaching Awards presented will celebrate outstanding achievements and significant contributions coaches have made to their athletes and their sport. This year, the award recipients for 2020-2021 will be selected based on coaches' accomplishments over their entire careers.

Coaches are a cornerstone of all sport programs and through leadership, teamwork, encouragement, character development, and countless other teachings, they build better people.

“Coaches play an essential role in the sport system and have a significant impact on the lives of athletes,” said Janet McMahon, Sport Manitoba’s Interim President & CEO. “The Sport Manitoba Coaching Awards celebrate Manitoba’s passionate coaches who have dedicated themselves to developing athletes not only in sport, but also in life.”

The 2021 event will take place entirely on social media on April 6. Our nominees’ stories from their incredible careers in coaching will be featured on Sport Manitoba's Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter feeds.
