This event was begun in 2010 in honor local high school athletics and their coaches who exemplify sportsmanship. Nominations are based on coachability, attitude, citizenship, and leadership. They also include a specific act of sportsmanship such as putting the game and team before oneself, demonstrating respect, caring, fairness, civility, honesty, integrity, and responsibility. The ACE ceremony takes place on May 25th at the Alex Theatre in Glendale.
