The Western Sydney Academy of Sport’s Annual Athlete Awards Dinner was held at Wenty Leagues Club on Friday, 13 September 2024. The event highlighted the achievements of the Academy’s athletes, coaches, and the support of our corporate partners.
Athletes from 11 sporting disciplines were recognised for their achievements throughout the 2023/2024 season. Award recipients were acknowledged for their talent, leadership, dedication, and commitment to their respective sports.
In addition to recognising athletes, the Academy presented service awards to coaching staff who have completed ten and twenty consecutive years of volunteer service.
