The WACPC Board of Directors will be announcing the annual WACPC State Cheer Coach and Dance Coach of the Year Awards at their respective State Championships, with a formal presentation of the plaque at the Coach of the Year’s home school/program.

Coaches, team members, parents, administrators, athletic directors, and Booster Club members are encouraged to nominate their coach to be the WACPC State Coach of the Year for Cheer or Dance. A panel of administrators, guidance counselors, and cheer/dance coaches will choose the winners. It is truly an honor for any coach to be nominated.
