Inside Sport launches 2018 Clubbies Awards

Inside Sport magazine, with the backing of insurers Sportscover and the Confederation of Australian Sport (CAS) have announced details of the 2018 Clubbies Awards.

Now entering its third year, Inside Sport’s community sports awards look to reward the dedication, integrity and sportsmanship of unsung heroes in community sport.

With Sportscover replacing Polar as the Awards’ new presenting partner, Inside Sport Editor Jeff Centenera explains “we have a passion at Inside Sport for great sport stories, and we’ve found there are so many great ones to be told in grassroots sport.”

Award categories for 2018 include: Best Club, Best Coach, Best Stalwart, Best Sports Association and Best Masters Performance with the addition of two new categories: Best Administrator and Best Facility.

Last year’s Clubbies campaign attracted more than 600 entries from 35 national sporting organisations and had a print, digital and social reach of more than 2.3 million sports fans.

2017 Award Winners:

Best Club - East Bankstown Football Club (NSW)
Best Coach - David ‘Charlie’ Whetu, Grays Point Arrows Softball Club (NSW)
