AWARDS
SUBMISSION DEADLINE: Fri 23 Aug 2024
Every year at the UKSCA annual conference we recognise our most dedicated, talented and promising coaches.
​
S&C coaches are often modest folk - letting the people they coach do the talking!
Please take 5 minutes to tell us about a coach you know who deserves the recognition for the great person they are and the great job they do.
Nominate them now to win one of our S&C Coach of the Year 2024 awards.
