Good Sports Awards 2025 Stakeholder Kit
‘Share the message’ kit for Leagues and Associations, State Sporting Organisations, National Sporting Organisations, local councils and other stakeholders.
How to use the stakeholder kit
These templates and social media tiles will help you share the message about the Good Sports Awards with your network.
The Awards recognise the strong clubs and dedicated people who are role models in their community. They’re passionate about the health and wellbeing of their members, reducing harms from alcohol and other drugs, and making their club the very best it can be.
It’s a great opportunity to provide winning clubs with the recognition they deserve and for Good Sports clubs to celebrate their star volunteers, helping attract new members and even more community support.
Leagues and Associations, State Sporting Organisations, National Sporting Organisations, local councils and other stakeholders can use and personalise the resources provided in this kit to help promote the awards.
You’ll find social media posts and wording for your newsletter.
It’s a good idea to start promoting the awards as soon as possible. Nominations close midnight Monday, November 10 but often it can take busy club members a few weeks to organise a nomination and gather their stories and evidence.
