UK Coaching Awards 2025: It is Time to Nominate an Incredible Coach!

Nominations are now open for the UK Coaching Awards 2025, offering the perfect opportunity to celebrate the coaches who are making a real difference in communities across the UK.

Whether they’re inspiring young athletes, championing inclusivity, or leading the way in sustainability, these awards recognise the incredible impact of coaches at every level.

This year introduces a brand-new Green Award, honouring coaches and organisations who are embedding sustainability into their practice, an important step as we look to the future of sport and physical activity.

The UK Coaching Awards are the most prestigious celebration of coaching excellence in the UK. They highlight the dedication, passion, and transformative power of coaches who go above and beyond to enrich lives and communities.

Last year’s winners include Hannah Vines, recognised for her child-first approach in rowing, and John Shedden, who received the Lifetime Achievement Award for his pioneering work in Snowsports coaching.

There are 10 award categories in total: Community Coach of the Year (Children and Young People), Community Coach of the Year (Adults), Young Coach of the Year, Change a Life Award, Talent Development Coach of the Year, High Performance Coach of the Year, Online Coach of the Year, Inclusive Coaching Award, Coach Education and Development Practitioner of the Year, and the new Green Award.

Mark Gannon, CEO of UK Coaching, encourages everyone to get involved:

"The UK Coaching Awards are my favourite part of the year. They give us the chance to hear powerful stories of coaches going above and beyond to make sport inclusive, accessible, and life changing. If a coach has helped you, your club, or your community, this is your chance to say thank you."

Nominations close on Tuesday 2 September 2025, with the High-Performance category remaining open until Thursday 11 September. All entries will be reviewed through an independent and impartial judging process.
