Roxby Downs Sports Awards 2027

As the peak community body representing all sports in Roxby Downs, the Sport and Recreation Forum believes that each year outstanding achievements are performed within our community by individuals. These people perform at a high athletic level or provide outstanding volunteer support to allow others to enjoy and participate in their chosen sport and reach their full sporting potential. Those nominated do not necessarily need to be outstanding athletes - team players or sporting volunteers are equally worthy.

Awards are given in the following categories:

  • Senior Sportsperson
  • Junior Sportsperson
  • Sporting Volunteer of the Year
