The MEL and Sac Joaquin Section
recognize coaches who are positive
role models within our schools and
the community at-large.
A model coach should demonstrate and teach the
six core ethical values: trustworthiness, respect,
responsibility, fairness, caring and good
citizenship (the ‘Six Pillars of Character’).
We believe that the highest potential of sports is
achieved when teacher-coaches consciously
Teach, Enforce, Advocate and Model (T.E.A.M.)
these values and are committed to the ideal
of Pursuing Victory with Honor.
