Athletic Union Awards

The prestigious Bath Spa Athletic Union Award Ceremony is designed for those students who have been playing sports at the University at a good and continuous level over the past season. All AU members are invited to the event and the winners of the awards will be informed at the Ceremony. These awards are extremely difficult to obtain and will only be given to those who have proven themselves. It is a great opportunity to be recognised for something other than your academic ability; it will be a great evening and hopefully you will all attend.

 

Full colours
Awarded to any member who has represented the University for a minimum of three years at their particular sport, and have participated in at least 80% of the games. These awards are given out very sparingly and it is a true sign of a very significant achievement.

 

Half colours
Given to those who have played university sport at a consistently high level for two or more years and have played more than 50% of games.

 

Club Colours
Are presented to mark an individual's significant and sustained contribution to a club above and beyond any specific sporting achievement over one season.

 

Top Scorers
Awarded to those individuals who have scored the most points, goals and tries throughout the season.

 

Player of the Season

Awarded to the person who has played at a high level showing consistency, team-work and dedication, i.e. the first name on the team sheet.

 

Most Improved Player

Not necessarily the best player, but this is awarded to the player who has improved the most over the season showing dedication and commitment.

 

Team of the Year Award
This trophy is awarded for the most outstanding performance by any team, and is probably the most keenly sought after trophy within the Sports Union!

 

Club of the Year Award
Awarded to the Club who has contributed the most to the Students’ Union throughout the year.

 

Sports Personality of the Year Award (Male & Female)
The recipient of the award need not necessarily be of high traditional sporting ability, but will have given exceptional service to the Sports Union over a period of time. The service may be in the form of consistent enthusiasm, commitment or achievement.
