Sportsmanship Award Explanation

Awana Sportsmanship Award

AwanaGames teams (Club, JV and Varsity) are evaluated starting the moment they walk onto the game floor for the Awana Sportsmanship Award. This award recognizes a team that has gone above and beyond the norm to show true Christian Sportsmanship exemplified in attentiveness, praising players (on any team), Christian attitudes (from team members and coaches) and general conduct.
