The awards recognise outstanding achievements and contributions made by volunteers across NSW who carry out a variety of roles, which give life to community sport.
More than 400.000 people across NSW voluntarily dedicate their time every year through their involvement in sporting clubs and organisations. Put simply, sport would not exist without them.
The awards will be formally presented on May 16 in the theatrette at NSW Parliament House.
The program consists of five individual awards categories - Official of the Year, Young Official of the Year, Coach of the Year, Young Coach of the Year, and Community Sport Administrator of the Year.
There are also four categories within the Minister’s Sport Volunteer Management Awards, which include Club/Community Sport Organisation, Regional/District Sport Organisation, State Sport Organisations, and Event of the Year.
The Minister’s Sport Volunteer Management Awards aim to attract nominations from organisations that have shown innovative ideas and management techniques in the recognition, education and training, coordination, and recruitment of volunteers.
Each category winner will receive a $2000 grant for volunteer training or equipment.
Nominations are now open, closing May 5. The 2014 Community Sports Volunteer Awards guidelines and nomination forms can be found at: www.sportnsw.com.au /Recognition/2014-Community-Sports-Awards.
