The awards celebrate the achievements and contributions of amateur sportspeople and organisations across Wolverhampton. Winners in each category will receive a certificate, a commemorative citation and a trophy, presented by the Mayor of Wolverhampton Councillor Paul Singh at a special awards evening in November.
The awards available for nomination are Coach of the Year, Volunteer of the Year, Disabled Player/Athlete, Under-21 Volunteer, 50 Years a Team/Club/League, Community Club of the Year, Team/Club/League of the Year, Veteran (over 65 years of age) and the Award of Merit.
The awards sub-committee will also consider the strongest nominations for a number of honours that are not open for nomination. These discretionary awards are the HE Lane OBE Memorial Award, RV Cook Memorial Trophy, Ted Hayward Memorial Trophy and the Jeff Coleman Memorial Trophy.
All nominees must be amateur participants and members of a Wolverhampton-based team, club, league or sporting association.
To help maintain an element of surprise, organisers are asking nominators not to inform people of their nomination. Successful nominees will be invited to attend the ceremony to receive a sporting award, without being told the category in advance.
Anyone wishing to submit a nomination should email WSAC Secretary Anona Hickin at ahickin@btinternet.com, who will provide the appropriate nomination form. The closing date for nominations is Monday 10 August, 2026.
