Celebrate Coaches Week in Saskatchewan
It’s time to say “Thanks Coach” in Saskatchewan.
The Government of Saskatchewan proclaimed September 16 to 22, 2024, Coaches Week in support of the Coaches Association of Saskatchewan and National Coaches Week.
This week-long event celebrates the dedication coaches have to their role and promotes the positive impact they have on athletes and communities. With many coaches operating as volunteers and committing an average of more than 120 hours each year to Canadian sport, the week also provides a simple way to say thanks to these integral leaders. The Coaches Association of Canada coined the term “Thanks Coach” to show appreciation.
“The Government of Saskatchewan is proud to support the important work of the Coaches Association of Saskatchewan with funding from Sask Lotteries,” Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Laura Ross said. “Coaches play such an influential role in the development of our athletes both on and off the field. Your motivation and encouragement help bring out the best in these individuals, and for that we say Thank You!”
