USA Ultimate Coordinator of the Year Award
Every year, dozens of volunteer sectional coordinators donate their time and efforts to USA Ultimate. These individuals serve as the face of the USA Ultimate at the most local level of the organization. They organize tournaments, collect rosters, disseminate information, report problems, deal with problems, and generally do a lot of work for very little reward. Each year, a number of coordinators go above and beyond in terms of effort, results, problem solving, and general quality. From the ones who step in at the last minute to save the day, to the ones who have been rock solid for years, these are the cream of the volunteer crop.
