The selection of the PVS Age Group
Coach of the Year will be based on coaches achievements from the start of the
current LCM season (the day after SC Eastern Zone Championship Meet) through
the last day of the following year’s Eastern Zone Championship Meet
(Example: April 4, 2009– April 3, 2010) for swimmers age 14 & Under.
The PVS Age Group Coach of the Year award will be awarded to the one coach (who
has filled out the nomination form) that has, in the eyes of the selection
committee, achieved the most as an age-group coach during the just completed
LCM and SCY seasons.
The PVS Age Group Coach of the Year will have his/her expenses paid to attend
the ASCA Convention. The award will be presented at the convention.. This
year's ASCA
Convention will be held in Indianapolis, IN August 30 – September 2,
2010.
The coach must be the primary coach of a swimmer (s) age 14 or younger. Primary
coach means that the swimmer(s) must train a majority of time with that coach.
The coach must also train the swimmer(s) a minimum of 9 months during the
defined season and be responsible for developing the training plan. If the
swimmer ages up to the senior age group mid-season, the only accomplishments
considered will be while that swimmer was in the 13-14 age group provided that
they trained with that coach for at least 9 months prior to aging up. The same
will hold true for swimmers aging up to the 11-12 age group and the 13-14 age
group.
Nomination forms will be due June
25, 2010. Nomination forms
will be reviewed by the PVS Selection Committee before their August meeting and
the winning coach shall be informed soon after. Results will be reported to the
PVS BOD in a timely manner. Results will also be posted to the PVS web site
under the "Coaches" section.
