Welcome to the Northeast-10 Sportsmanship Award Home Page

The Northeast-10 Conference and Webster Bank have teamed up to present the inaugural sportsmanship awards program, as announced today by the league office. The awards program, which includes honoring one team from each of the league’s 23 championship sports, will also recognize one institution as the “Institution of the Year Sportsmanship Award.”

The league’s Senior Woman Administrator Council will oversee the awards program.

The Northeast-10 will award one team from each of its 23 championship sports with a “Team Sportsmanship Award” at the end of each season’s championship segment. This award will be presented to the team that best exemplifies the spirit of sportsmanship and generally conducts themselves with a high degree of integrity, character and class. The team award will be decided upon by a vote of each league team’s head coach, team captain and Student Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) representative.

In June, one of the 15 institutions will receive the “Northeast-10 Institution of the Year Sportsmanship Award.” The Northeast-10 Senior Woman Administrator Council will vote one the yearly institutional winner at their June meeting.

In addition, Webster Bank will make a donation annually to the institutional award winner’s local Boys & Girls Club in the name of the school. The Boys & Girls Club is a common charity that many of the Northeast-10 institutions’ SAAC contribute to through volunteerism and monetary donations.
