VAFA Recognition Awards

The VAFA is excited to announce that the Community Coach of the Month and The PASS Volunteer of the Month awards are back for 2025!
These monthly awards will invite nominations to recognise outstanding individuals who embody VAFA’s core values. The recognition program will run from April to August, giving clubs the opportunity to nominate coaches and volunteers who best represent the values each month.
Clubs can nominate as many coaches and volunteers as they wish, with no limitations on the number of nominations per club. We encourage you to highlight the exceptional work of your team throughout the season.
Get ready to celebrate the incredible contributions of our community coaches and volunteers!
