Good sports award @ Victorian SYG
I'm quite excited about this. During the Vic SYG, instead of just a committee nominating who wins the fair play or team spirit award like in QLD, in Vic both awards are combined into a good sports award, and anyone can write up a nomination for other teams based on what you observe over the weekend.
We knew that Ringwood were great, so we wrote a nomination for them and were stoked when they won. I must admit that I was even more excited when they published the nominations on the website and they showed that we had received four of them ourselves - the only team to receive multiple nominations! I was especially happy as I was scared during touch that we might have been arrogant as we told others how to play the game - but no! Very happy here.
Here are the nominations:
Good Sports Award 2005
Ringwood Church of Christ (winning nomination)
Ringwood were a great sport because they had never met us before, yet they adopted us and gave us tents, food, couches, cheering as well as providing their friendship. Wherever we went they were always cheering us, themselves and everyone else enthusiastically. Most importantly we noticed they structured their teams to encourage participation and helping younger players rather than trying to be the best of the best. From Queensland (Springwood Church of Christ)
Monash 3 on 3 team
Substituting better players off and letting young guys have a go even if it meant losing
Cameron Doolsh from Blackburn - Good sport / honest at pool
Springwood
Great supporters of everyone
York St Ladies A Basketball
Excellent, fun and good sports
QueenslandThe group of players from Queensland in the Sunday morning session of Open Touch Football were being very considerate towards the players in SBC (Shepparton Baptist Church) in ways such as: they didn't argue with Umpires, they shook hands after the games, gave out encouraging comments to opposing team, and were generally just great sports
- Adam Lawrence (SBC player)
Stonnington Church of Christ
In Indoor Soccer, one of their boys tripped over one of our players and he kicked the ball away. He then picked her up and gave her back the ball and made sure she was alright
- Latrobe Regional Church of Christ
York St Basketball C Team
For placing a higher emphasis on making it fun than on winning. They made their games highly enjoyable and really funny to watch. Some of the things they did included playing tunnelball and stacks on, when one girl fell on the opposing team missed a shot they kept passing it back until she got it in, a tall plaer tapped in a couple of shots for their opposition that would have missed, and much much more!
Warragul CCW
Lent us their netball bibs and cheered for us in U18 netball Final
- Templestowe Baptist
Queensland
We played touch football against them and they were so patient and explained the rules as we went along
- Templestowe Baptist
Queensland again!
Queensland team always gave three cheers to oppopsing teams after the event - win lose or draw! Always fare and didn't argue with decisions even when they may have been dubious - they just accepted them. Encouraging and willing to share their knowledge of touch footy with all the teams in their division. Also in touch footy they let mistakes we made be replayed to teach us. Friendly bunch - very deserving!
