British Baseball and Softball Coaching Award Nominations Open!
Fri 4 Dec 2020
Nominations for the sixth British Baseball & Softball Coaching Awards are now open!
Following an unprecedented and unusual playing season, BaseballSoftballUK is looking to once again honour the best baseball and softball coaches from around the UK. Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, hundreds, if not thousands, of COVID-safe coaching sessions took place across the country during 2020, and BSUK is excited to be able to recognize the deserving individuals who made them possible.
The following awards are open for nominees:
- Young Coach of the Year: The coach aged 25 or younger (formerly aged 22 or younger) deemed to have made the biggest contribution to coaching, managing and supporting baseball and/or softball in Britain.
- Baseball Youth Coach of the Year: Outstanding contribution to coaching young people in baseball in Britain.
- Softball Youth Coach of the Year: Outstanding contribution to coaching young people in softball in Britain.
- Baseball Adult Coach of the Year: Outstanding contribution to adult baseball coaching in Britain.
- Softball Adult Coach of the Year: Outstanding contribution to adult softball coaching in Britain.
- Volunteer of the Year: A volunteer in a non-coaching role who has given up a substantial amount of time to support their local club, team or league and who has made a significant impact on the development of our sports.
- Services to Coaching: the individual who best personifies what it means to be a baseball or softball coach: someone who understands their sport and can use the lessons learned on the pitch to motivate and engage others. They have probably played a great number of roles, and without their services to coaching, your club, your league or perhaps even your national teams wouldn’t be the same.
Previous award winners can be found here.
The nomination period will be open until 5 PM on 17 January 2021 and can be made here.
Following the nomination period, shortlisted candidates for each award will be announced via BSUK’s social media and website on Friday, 22 January 2021. The winners will be decided by a panel consisting of staff from BaseballSoftballUK and will be revealed on social media during the week of 25 January 2021.
