Help us recognize student-athletes in grades 6–12 who represent Discipline, Academics, Character, and Mindset on and off the field of play.
Every nomination helps us identify student-athletes who are building habits, character, leadership, and confidence that last beyond the scoreboard.
Parents, coaches, teachers, mentors, teammates, and community members may submit a nomination.
Nominations are reviewed using the O-Zone Standard: Discipline, Academics, Character, and Mindset.
One athlete is selected for the current spotlight cycle, with finalists and nominees remaining under consideration.
Selected athletes may be featured on the website, social media, and receive O-Zone recognition items.
O-Zone is not only about athletic performance. We highlight student-athletes who are becoming stronger people through how they work, lead, learn, and respond.
Consistency over hype.
Excellence beyond the game.
