Wyoming Coaches Association

The Wyoming Coaches Association Hall of Fame Board of Directors is excited to announce an opportunity for those that have been inducted into the Hall of Fame.

The Inductees will be able to update the Bio that is presently programed into the KIOSK at the University of Wyoming Paul Roach and Wyoming Coaches Association Hall of Fame Room.

Many coaches are inducted into the Hall and then coach for several more years so it would be nice to tie the before and after together.

PLEASE CLICK ON THE HALL OF FAME KIOSK CLUB LINK FOR MORE INFORMATION AND TO BE ABLE TO GET THE FORM NEEDED IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS OPPORTUNITY!

Members of the WCA;

The WCA Board is very excited coming out of our last Coach of the Year ballot as we had a record 138 voters. However, out of 850+ members we have some work to do. We also had a great number of coaches nominated for the assistant COTY awards. Voting and nominating coaches for these awards is going to be a brief general session discussion during our WCA Business meeting next July.

Congratulations to the NCHS football team and the 75 athletes that were a 3.5 or better!
Our Junior High Representatives, led by Walt Smith of Torrington are searching for contact information for all Junior High / Middle School coaches. Our goal is to bring them up to speed with the many benefits of the WCA and also the JR High Hall of Fame.
