More about the IAAM Character Coin

Premise: The IAAM strongly believes that there is more to the game than just winning. There is more to learn, more to experience and more to enjoy when winning is not the sole focus in high school athletics.

IAAM Ideals: Since our inception, in 1999, the IAAM has embraced the highest ideals of fair play, integrity and respect.

The Character Coin: In an effort to put our beliefs into action, The IAAM has launched, in the Fall of 2016, The Character Coin.

Implementation: At the beginning of each season, each Varsity Head Coach will receive two IAAM Character Coins. The coach will have the opportunity to present a Character Coin to two opponents during the season, who display significant elements of fair play, integrity and respect. The Coach (or player) wishing to present a Character Coin to an opposing varsity player will inform the opponent’s Head Coach of this request after the contest. The opposing coach and the player will step forward as the “presenting” coach (and players) makes the presentation to the recipient of the IAAM Character Coin.
