2025 Thompson Metro KC Coach of the Year Awards
by Ryan Krzykowski
For over a decade, Community for Coaches has been honoring a select group of Coaches each spring, choosing finalists for Metro KC Coach of the Year. Our goal is to highlight some of the women and men who are successfully using sports as a tool to make our city a better place. In 2025, we will begin the Coach of the Year selection process by collecting nominations beginning on February 1. Those who are selected as finalists will participate in an online vote in April, and will be honored at a live celebration scheduled for Sunday, May 4. Finalists will also be interviewed for the CFC podcast, which is always a hit each spring.
One addition to the 2025 process involves our dear friend, Sharon Thompson, who we lost last July. Sharon served faithfully with CFC for many years, and the Coach of the Year celebration was her absolute favorite thing we’ve ever done. We want to remember Sharon by dedicating and naming this celebration and these awards in her honor, and we look forward to meeting and working with the finalist class of 2025.
We will send out a reminder once nominations are officially open, but in the meantime, please be thinking of coaches who are deserving nominees for this recognition. For context, you can meet the 2024 finalists here.
Thanks very much, and Let’s Coach With Purpose…
