ICCA will choose an active District Coach of the
Year and a District Contributor of the Year from each of the
six ICCA Districts in Iowa.
All district winners will be automatic nominees for the Active Iowa
Cheer Coach and The Iowa Contributor of the Year awards. The district
and state winners will be notified, and ICCA will recognize all winners
at our State Competition and our
Annual Spring Conference Banquet.
Life Time Achievement
Award - This award is strictly an ICCA award for that
coach or former coach who has worked with cheerleaders for many years.
They've stood the test of time by being patient and caring. They've
dealt with parental issues, cheerleader issues, school issues,
sportsmanship, ordering uniforms, pep rallies, and creating cheers and
dances. These extraordinary people have experienced the ups and downs of
coaching, winning and losing seasons and the challenges of each. They've
watched the young, inexperienced cheerleader turn into a dynamic,
poised, young adult. They've had enough experiences to write a book.
Many continue to give of their time and energy to cheerleading in Iowa
even after they've retired from coaching. It's time to honor them. The
ICCA Board nominates and votes on the recipient at their October Board
Meeting. The winner of this award will be recognized
at the
State Cheerleading Competition and our
Annual Spring Conference Banquet.
