In 2022 we revamped the awards and the evening which we celebrate the season.
It is no longer an awards night but a Season Celebration – the shift in identity was to celebrate the season as a whole and to no longer solely acknowledge players that had shone this season. This was to create a more inclusive evening for all players and associates from those who joined us out our social leagues and hats to elite nationals players, coaches, managers, assistants and committee members.
Awards are now received for the following – MVP and Runner-up MVP as voted by our teams mates at Nationals. Players Player in recognition of a team mate that shows genuine care and concern for the well-being on their teammates. Coaches Award given by coaching staff to someone they notice striving to achieve their individual goals whilst being considerate of the teams goals. Most Improved which speaks for itself a team member that has a remarkable journey throughout the season.
