| 2013 | Jayne Clark: Jayne has been a team organiser for the Flames and Dymo-Eds teams and under difficult circumstances has been able to keep those teams running well. Jayne has been a dedicated scorer and supporter at games since this competition commenced in 2008. Jayne is a giving, caring person who does many small things around the competition that help us to make it better. These include helping me set up at the beginning of the day by putting up notices, making sure the scoresheets, tables and chairs are put out and publicising the competition far and wide in the community. Jayne is also ready to fill in as a player if a team is short. |
| 2013 | Evan Jones: Evan is always there to help. As a player he has organised the Rockets mens team for the past 8 seasons. Evan has also been a “mr fixit” person around the competition and has helped us to be able to run things better. Evan always goes about helping in a non-obtrusive way. It is the little things that he does that make the biggest difference. Being ready to fill in at a moment’s notice for a team short of players, helping out with the scoring, opening the curtains when we get court 1 at 3 pm, running messages and picking up all of the rubbish at the end of the day are just some of the things Evan does. |
| 2014 | Yvonne Wheeldon: Yvonne has been involved in organising teams in the competition for too many years to mention. Yvonne is what this competition is all about…people helping people to become better persons. When new people join the competition, Yvonne has always been one of those to greet them and make them feel welcome no matter their skill level and no matter what team they join. Yvonne’s encouraging, friendly disposition has been greatly appreciated over the years when potentially volatile situations have arisen with players, teams and games. Yvonne’s patient and kindly approach has enabled these circumstances to be changed for the better. Yvonne has been a willing helper, as a player filling in for teams so they can avoid a forfeit, as a scorer for teams needing someone to do that job and behind the scenes as an encourager and confident for many people in the Basketball Innovations Competition. |
| 2014 | Hoi Lai: Ho is also what this competition is about…people helping people to become better persons. Ho currently is the team representative for the Flying Bacons Team. Before that, from 1997 to 2012, he was the team representative for the Slam team. Over the years Ho has been responsible for having over 35 people mostly ethnic Chinese and Japanese join the competition. Ho’s friendly and encouraging disposition has facilitated the breaking down of racial barriers and has provided a bridge for Asian people to feel they belong in the Basketball Innovations Competition. Besides his own team, Ho has encouraged others to form teams of their own and has willingly filled in at a moment’s notice for teams needing an extra player to avoid a forfeit. Behind the scenes, like Yvonne, Ho has been an encourager and confident for many people in this competition. |

| 2017 | Michael Cabrera: Mike joined in 2010 as a player for Titans. The next season Mike became the team representative. Over the next few seasons through Mike’s diligent efforts, Titans became a powerhouse of the competition. winning a succesion of premierships from 2012-14. So many people wanted to join the team that in 2014 Mike had no alternative but to start a second team, the Mustangs. The Mustangs won a premiership in their first season. After this early success, 2015 proved to be a difficult year. Work and a general lack of interest saw players leave and by the year’s end Titans folded. Mustangs too looked like it was goint to fold, but with Mike’s hard work behind the scenes, he was able to turn things around. New and enthusiastic players joined Mustangs has steadily improved. Over the past 7 years, Mike has been a great encourager and supporter of the competition and his efforts as a team representative have been awesome. Well done Mike! |

| 2019 | Jan Averhaus: Jan like his wife Sara joined the competition in 2016 and has been a very valuable contributor.

Jan your efforts are much appreciated and this award is just a small appreciation of what you have done. Thank you Jan. |
