BBC Wales and Sport Wales are looking for 2017’s best of Welsh sporting prowess

September 11, 2017 by Staff

BBC Wales and Sport Wales are looking for the community coaches and volunteers in Wales who are rousing more people to take part in sport and exercise.

As well as celebrating the individual stars of grassroots sport, the judges are looking for organisations and sporting experiences that are gripping the nation and inspiring more people to make being active part of their lives.

The categories for nomination are:

Volunteer of the Year
Community Coach of the Year
Inspiring Young Person
Sporting Experience of the Year
Organisation of the Year
BBC Get Inspired Unsung Hero
The Wales Sport Awards, hosted jointly by BBC Wales and Sport Wales, is the country’s biggest annual celebration of the very best of elite and grassroots sport.

Lawrence Conway, Chair of Sport Wales, said: “Someone taking part in sport and regular physical activity and exercise has usually been inspired by a brilliant coach or volunteer, and their first experience can keep them participating for a lifetime.

“There are people and moments that are exciting, innovative and motivational. They are happening across the country and we want to find the very best so we can celebrate them and spread the message throughout Wales.”

Rhodri Talfan Davies, Director, BBC Wales, says: “What better way to celebrate the very best of Welsh sport – be it on a community level, or in the elite world.

“The Wales Sport Awards are an opportunity to recognise the talent and hard work of so many inspirational individuals and organisations right across the country, and right across the sporting spectrum, and to proudly celebrate their achievements.”

Nominations for the community awards are now open at www.walessportawards.co.uk where you can also find more information about the categories. Nominations close at midday on Friday 29 September.
