Coach of the Quarter Nominations are open for Quarter 3 (July – Sep)

August 19, 2024

Nominations for BSCA Coach of the Quarter for Quarter 3 (period July – September 2024) are now open!

The Award is a general recognition for any coach be they a BSCA member or not*, for not only the performances of the swimmers they work with, but for any other aspect of life as a coach. This could be new initiatives, such as development of equipment, innovative new practices, community projects that promote the role of the coach, or just being a darned good coach! No positive idea will be discounted.

This Awards will be for activities within a three month period (hence a Quarter) and this one will take into account the months of July, August & September, with the closing date for nominations being midnight 30th September 2024.

You can submit your nomination via the website: https://gbswimcoaches.co.uk/coach-of-the-quarter/

Nominations will be open to come from members, non-members and the public.

The winner will be selected by members of the BSCA Ambassadors group and winners will receive recognition, public adoration, a Certificate related to the achievement and a prize to be announced at the respective point.

We’d love to see you get yourself onboard the group and get nominating. Let all your friends & colleagues know and encourage them to join.

(*Whilst nominations are welcomed from all members of the coaching community, the coach must be operating within GB and BSCA membership may be a factor considered if the nominations are close on merit.)

[Nominations for this quarter close at midnight on 30.09.24 ~ Nominees will be considered on the 1st & 2nd of October with the Winner announced on the 3rd October 2024]
