BEAVERTON, OR (8/21/2024) – CEVA is launching a new incentive-based program called “Caught Doing Good” for the 2024-2025 season, to recognize and reward those who go above and beyond to create a positive atmosphere at our events, within their clubs, or in their communities. The original idea for this program came from the Badger Region of USA Volleyball, based in Wisconsin.
The program is based on nominations, with a nomination form available on our website. Members can be nominated for acts of good sportsmanship, service, or positive behavior. This program continues to expand on CEVA’s continuing mission to change the culture around youth sports, focusing on the “positives” and recognizing those who make those contributions.
This program also aims to help retain coaches and officials, who are often the targets of abuse at sporting events of all types. CEVA continues to distinguish itself from its competitors by focusing on these points.
Nominations will be vetted by the CEVA office. The intention is to recognize those who go “above and beyond.” Examples of things that fit this program include cleaning up a facility after a tournament, a team doing a community service project, or random acts of kindness at events.
All nominees who pass the initial vetting by the staff will receive a prize from CEVA. Once per month, on about the 15th of each month, CEVA will conduct a random drawing of all nominees received within a one-month period. One lucky winner will receive a free logoed backpack from CEVA. Winners will also be recognized on our website and social media.
The program will officially launch October 1 and will run through the end of Regionals each year.
