CLUB AWARDS
Warrandyte Basketball Association Annual Club Awards
Each year the WBA presents a number of awards that recognise members who have made significant contributions during the previous 12 months or longer, depending to the specific award criteria as stated under each award description. Past 12 months is the period starting with the commencement of the 2017-18 Summer Redback Season and the end of the VJBL season. Each award has specific criteria, and these awards are presented upon the recommendation given to the WBA committee by the WBA Club Awards Panel.
