In 2006, the NFL expanded the High School Coach of the Year program to include all youth amateur football coaches. This fall, as in year's past, we are looking to recognize high school or community coaches who inspire young football players and who have demonstrated a long-term commitment to coaching football. The 2009 The Home Depot NFL Youth Coach of the Year will be announced and recognized during Vanier Cup week.

Football fans, parents, community members, Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) and CEGEP players are all encouraged to log on to NFLCanada.com and nominate a coach.

The award, run in conjunction with the Vanier Cup and in its tenth year, is not based on wins and losses, but rather on recognizing coaches who positively impact the lives of their players and make significant contributions to the game of football.
