Jefferson’s of Winchester is pleased to announce that Travis Moore has been named Jefferson’s Winchester Coach of the Year. Moore coaches soccer for Franklin County Middle School and club soccer at Camp Forest, and has been coaching for eight years.
Coach Moore was chosen from a highly competitive pool of nominations submitted by athletes and community members. The contest, launched in honor of National Coach’s Day on Oct. 6, serves to recognize one of Winchester’s many deserving coaches. Jefferson’s selected Moore as the Winchester Coach of the Year for his passion for the sport and emphasis on sportsmanship.
“Coach Moore’s nominators spoke of his dedication to soccer,” said Sean McCooey, President of Double Dip Franchise Group. “He cares about what the sport can do for all who play it. He’s someone who values and cultivates hard work, fairness, and sportsmanship, and his steady leadership has inspired his athletes and led his teams to winning records. We’re honored to recognize him for all he’s put into his teams.”
Moore will receive a $500 gift card to Jefferson’s, and his achievement will be commemorated with a “Jefferson’s Coach of the Year” plaque that will be displayed in the Winchester Jefferson’s.
Last year was the launch of the Coach of the Year program, with Jermain Johnson, football coach for the South Middle School Trojans, selected as the first-ever Winchester Coach of the Year.
The Jefferson’s Coach of the Year award was open to coaches of any sport working with athletes of any age. Coaches could be nominated by athletes, parents and guardians of athletes, school officials, or other community members.
