Team of the Year
Awarded to the team that has achieved outstanding competitive
success during the judging period. The category is open to teams of
two people or more, so doubles pairs in racquet sports are
included.
All team members must have been 18 years old or more on 1
January 2012, with the exception of teams with more than six
members. For senior teams with more than six members, up to two of
these can be under 18 years old on 1 January 2012.
Junior Team of the Year
Awarded to the team that has achieved outstanding competitive
success during the judging period. This is open to school teams,
college teams or club sides. The category is open to teams of two
people or more, so doubles pairs in racquet sports are
included.
All team members must have been 17 years old or younger on
1 January 2012.
Coach of the Year
Awarded to a coach who has demonstrated outstanding coaching
skills, contributed to sporting opportunities from grassroots to
excellence and reinforced the sporting values of respect and fair
play.
It can be awarded just as easily to a coach who has guided a
team through a campaign undefeated as it can to a coach whose
enthusiasm and dedication did not waiver during a season when the
team has perhaps only won one game.
Unsung Hero
Recognises the dedication of those working in the background,
putting in endless hours for the benefit of others. It can go to
anyone who assists with any aspect of the club or team, from
washing the kit and sweeping the changing rooms to balancing the
club's accounts.
This is a chance for you and the club's members to say a big
thank you to those who often get overlooked.

Awarded to the primary school team that has achieved outstanding
competitive success during the judging period.
Secondary School Team of the Year
Awarded to the secondary school team that has achieved
outstanding competitive success during the judging period.
