than call plays

They build confidence, character, and community. CharterUP would like to honor the coaches who are empowering and driving their teams to greatness.

We invite players, parents, alumni, admin and community members to nominate a coach who goes above and beyond. The winning coach will receive $10,000, and their team will be awarded $10,000 in transportation credit on behalf of CharterUP

Meet the Finalists

Vote for the coach you think is driving greatness. You can vote once every 24 hours until Monday, November 16 at 11:59 p.m. CST.

Coach Dom Fin, Driving Greatness finalist, Eanes Independent School District, Austin, TX

Coach Dom Fin

Eanes Independent School District · Austin, TX

“Coach Dom pours his heart into these boys and this community. He’s building a brotherhood, teaching these young boys how to be men, and stand up for each other. Our program is 100% community funded, with very little money for travel or equipment, but Coach Dom never walked away. He shows up every day and gives these boys something to believe in.”

Coach Olivia Michniak, Driving Greatness finalist, Everest Academy, Lemont, IL

Coach Olivia Michniak

Everest Academy · Lemont, IL

“I see the bond Coach Olivia has with all the girls and young ladies on her team. She inspires them to reach new heights, not only in their volleyball skills, but also as people. She exemplifies the faith and mission of the school. She radiates genuine positivity and caring. She is definitely one of the most positive things at Everest Academy.”

Coach Patrick Moffitt, Driving Greatness finalist, Spartanburg Day School, Spartanburg, SC

Coach Patrick Moffitt

Spartanburg Day School · Spartanburg, SC

“Coach Moffitt took on the challenge of rebuilding football at a school that had gone more than four decades without a varsity team. But, he is doing much more than rebuilding a football program. He emphasizes accountability, demands effort, and teaches his players how to respond to adversity. He is building a foundation for future generations of Griffins.”

Coach Lex Mouzon, Driving Greatness finalist, Rochester City School District, Rochester, NY

Coach Lex Mouzon

Rochester City School District · Rochester, NY

“Coach Lex teaches our students teamwork, accountability, confidence, discipline, and the importance of believing in themselves. She makes them feel seen, supported, and celebrated. In many ways, she is the glue that keeps our school family together. She helps create the sense of belonging that every student (and staff member) deserves. She gives her time, energy, and full heart to our school, often without expecting recognition in return.”

Coach Gabby Robledo, Driving Greatness finalist, Howard Gardner Community School, Chula Vista, CA

Coach Gabby Robledo

Howard Gardner Community School · Chula Vista, CA

“Coach Gabby teaches PE outside every day in our school parking lot because that’s all we have. Our school does not have buses to take her two volleyball teams to practices and games, so she resources staff vehicles and ensures we are there and we show up no matter what. Whatever she does, she does it with heart.”
