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
Nominations will be reviewed by an NSAA selection committee.
Recognition Event:
One coach from each of the activities listed below will be honored during a special reception on Friday, March 14, 2025, at the 6:00 p.m. CST Class A Boys State Basketball semifinal at Pinnacle Bank Arena in Lincoln. Champions for Coaches will also be recognized on-court during halftime of the game.
