Courage Award
The OCCA Courage Award is designed to recognize and honor inspirational coaches, cheerleaders, and teams who reject fear and defy limitations through their display of leadership, perseverance, dignity and commitment to overcome obstacles in pursuit of their goals. One winner of the Courage Award may receive a Carrie Otter Memorial Scholarship. Anyone can nominate for the Courage Awards, but all nominees must be members of the OCCA.
