REGIONAL COACH OF THE YEAR AWARD

Regional Coach of the Year recognition began in 1961 when each region nominated a regional Coach of the Year.  In 1973, when the National Coach of the Year was no longer selected by nomination and by ballot, the C.G.A. continued electing the Regional Coaches of the Year.  The chairman mails out ballots to every active member in each region for selection of one Regional Coach of the Year. In 1997 the voting regions were realigned into three regions:  West, Central, and East. The awards are presented each spring at the coaches' meeting by the C.G.A. Vice President.
