Grassroots coaching is considered a career or lifetime achievement.

City of Welland Recreation Coordinator of Recreation, Sport and Culture Laura Chatterton feels it is vital to honour the city’s exceptional athletes and builders.
“We want to move into 2024 with continued interest in supporting our local Welland athletes and teams,” Chatterton said. “We are continuously supporting an environment where young and adult athletes alike not only value themselves, but value their peers, teammates and coaches. What better way to do it then celebrating athletes at a banquet.”
Chatterton feels Welland produces more than its share of quality athletes.
“For the size of Welland, the amount of successful high-level athletes we get in our city is just remarkable. We love to recognize them.”
