| 2009-2010 Coach of the Year Coach - Tara McVay - Tahoma High School |
| From letters of recommendation... "Tara creates the perfect atmosphere in the practice room; it's a great mix of hard work and dedication from all. She takes all of our opinions into consideration, and in turn we work hard to accomplish all of our goals as a team. This squad has brought new friendships and unforgettable times for all. Tara has an upbeat attitude and always keeps the team holding their heads high with not only school pride but self confidence. Finally, Tara also helps us outside of just athleticism. She instills the essentials that we will need for the rest of our lives. Tara has us cheerleaders doing an abundant amount of volunteer work for our community, such as working at the Maple Valley Food Bank for most major holidays. Personally I enjoy this work more than anything; it's a great feeling to give back. " |

2009-2010 All Star Coach of the Year - Christina Archer - NW Silver Stars
From letters of recommendation... "Christina Archer is an incredible coach who does not get near the recognition she deserves. And truly recognition is not what motivates her. She began the SilverStars 10 years ago and it is an accomplishment to see how far it has come. The program began from scratch in an old middle school gym with limited facilities and to now having its own gym with its facilities necessary to train championship teams. She has led teams to national championships and international titles, but more importantly, she has been a role model of someone who demonstrates strong faith, commitment to family, community service, athletic ability, business sense, and a friend to teens and their families all over the country." |
