as well as the coaching philosophy of the individual.
A maximum of three coaching service awards are presented annually.
These awards are given in recognition of a long career in high

developmental program at the school(s) as well as a solid coaching
philosophy which is in line with the philosophy of SSNL.
The Honour Award is the most prestigious award SSNL presents to its
volunteers within School Sport. It is given to honour an
individual�s long term commitment to the goals and mission of school
sport. The winner will have shown through work at the zone, regional
and provincial and/or provincial level, as a coach, convener, or
administrator, a commitment to furthering the objectives of school
sport.
In addition to these major awards which are decided by ballot from
the awards committee members, SSNL also recognizes the contribution
of volunteers at the grassroots level with 10 regional recognition
awards which are decided upon at the regional level.
