The New Jersey Education Association and the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association (NJSIAA) continue to team up on the “Coach for All Seasons” recognition program to spotlight multi-sport high school coaches across the state. The initiative honors coaches who guide student-athletes in more than one sport over the fall, winter and spring seasons, highlighting their year-round commitment to school athletics. Each month, one coach is selected and featured jointly by NJSIAA and NJEA.
The September, October and November “Coach for All Seasons” honorees were recognized in person Sunday, Nov. 30, during the state football championships at SHI Stadium in Piscataway. NJEA Secretary-Treasurer Tina Dare joined the ceremony to congratulate the coaches and present certificates of recognition.
By elevating multi-sport coaches from September through June, NJSIAA and NJEA aim to show that year-round support for students strengthens both school climate and athletic programs. NJEA and NJSIAA encourage athletic directors, principals and colleagues to keep submit nominations so that more coaches can be honored as a “Coach for All Seasons” in the months ahead. Candidates can be nominated here providing details about the coach’s roles and impact on their programs.
