Round Rock, TX, March 26, 2007 --(PR.com)-- Sportexe, a global leader in the synthetic turf industry and official turf provider for both the Arena Football League and arenafootball2, has been named by af2 as its official coach of the year award for the upcoming 2007 season beginning March 29.
The Sportexe Coach of the Year award names the industry’s top football-coaching leaders at all levels of football, including high school, collegiate and professional from both indoor and outdoor leagues throughout America, Canada and Europe.
“We’re excited about this new addition to our already existing relationship with Sportexe,” af2 President Jerry Kurz said. “The af2’s current group of coaches is the strongest we’ve ever had and we’re very fortunate to now have a top-notch, year-end award to recognize our league’s best of the best.”
af2 began in 2000 as the AFL’s developmental league and has quickly flourished fielding 30 teams for the upcoming season. The rules are the same as for the parent league and the season will run through July with the ArenaCup, af2's championship game, held in August.
“We are definitely proud of our association with af2,” said Doug Pullin, Sportexe AFL and af2 Project Sales Manager. “We have been involved with af2 since its inaugural season eight years ago and it has been a tremendous working relationship that has only gotten better each year. The success and longevity of the league is a direct reflection of all those associated with af2.”
Past Sportexe COY winners include John Fox and Sean Payton of the NFL, Tom Higgins and Wally Buono of the CFL and Art Briles, David Bennett and Bill O’Boyle of the NCAA.
“This is a perfect fit,” said Aaron S. Lee, national football-coaching insider and Sportexe spokesperson referring to the Sportexe af2 Coach of the Year announcement. “Not only does Sportexe already have a long-lasting relationship with af2 from a business standpoint, but also the Sportexe COY is quickly recognized as a new benchmark in football-coaching performance and recognition. We leave no stone unturned in our selection process and the af2 has an extremely deep pool of stellar coaching talent waiting to be acknowledged.”
