Nominations are now being taken for NMOBLL and Little League awards. NMBOLL families were recently mailed nomination forms, and they are also available in the handout below. To continue our tradition from last year, each division will honor one Coach of the Year. There is no nomination form for this award, but the award will be based in large part on the evaluation forms we receive from parents and players alike, as well as comments from our umpires and player agents. In addition, we will have several new awards this year. We will be giving an award to a Volunteer of the Year, and to a Good Sport of the Year. The Volunteer award is given to the wolunteer who has best demonstrated a "spirited and dedicated volunteer effort toward the development of children participating in Little League Baseball." The Good Sport award will be presented to the player, coach, or other member who "exemplifies the 'GOOD SPORT' attitude, team spirit, and adherence to the principles of fair play and sportsmanship associated with Little League Baseball." In addition to submitting nominations for the Volunteer and Good Sport Awards to NMBOLL (no later than May 14!!), they may also be submitted to Little League International prior to June 1. Players can also submit to Little League International a nomination of their own moms for Little League Mom of the Year. (NMBOLL does not issue a Mom of the Year award, because ALL of our Moms are Moms of the Year!) Families can also submit nominations in the Ace/Little League "Helpful Hero" Contest. Again, all nomination forms are in the handout below. Good luck, everyone!
