UK Coaching Awards: Nominations Now Open!

The UK Coaching Awards aim to honour and reward the work of those from the sport and physical activity sector who have gone above and beyond in #GreatCoaching across all levels in the UK. This year's awards also present an opportunity to celebrate the work of coaches during the challenging Covid-19 lockdown period, and to support The Great Coaching Comeback and ongoing efforts to empower people to return to sport and physical activity.

• Young Coach of the Year
• Changing Lives Award
• Talent Development Coach of the Year
• High Performance Coach of the Year
