High school and youth coaches who achieved success during the 2009 season have been recognized with the announcement of the NSCAA/Mondo Regional Coaches of the Year.

The high school recipients are selected based on a vote of their peers within their region, while the youth coaches are selected by a national committee from a pool of nominees from NSCAA member coaches. Regional Coaches of the Year are finalists for the NSCAA/Mondo National Coach of the Year award at their respective levels.

The national awards will be announced at the annual NSCAA Awards Banquet, which will be held Friday evening, Jan. 15, in the Grand Ballroom of the Marriott Downtown in Philadelphia, Pa., as part of the 2010 NSCAA Convention.
