Trophies

Presentation Day

After the season finishes there is a Presentation Day where all athletes are presented with awards and trophies gained during the season.

Trophies
Trophies and/or certificates are awarded to athletes who compete in the LAANSW Zone, Region or State Championships. Trophies are also awarded to the best performer and runner up in the U6 and U7 age groups and also to the most improved and runner up in all age groups. Tiny Tots receive an award to encourage participation.

Perpetual Trophies

A number of Perpetual Trophies are awarded each season in recognition of the fulfilment of specific criteria set by the Centre. These include, amongst other things, sportsmanship, attitude and dedication.

You can find the criteria in our Perpetual Trophies Criteria.

Read through the criteria and then feel welcome to nominate an athlete for an award. Fill out the online Perpetual Trophies Nominations form online before 10:00 PM on Friday, 5th of April 2024.
