Learning Life Through Sport Recognition Certificate
The LLTS Recognition Certificate is a great way for your club or school to promote the values of Sportsmanship, Respect and Try Your Hardest. This can be done in weekly awards for each time or you could present individual awards for each value. Thes can be adopted as your club "Spirit Awards". (eg: if your club is the Bulldogs these awards could be named the "Bulldogs Spirit Awards")

LLTS Testimonial
Adelaide Plains Netball Association - Netball SA
Hi Rod
We'd like to thank you again for taking the time to speak with APNA a few weeks ago. Feedback from all attendees was that the seminar was fantastic, highly motivating, and an emotional rollercoaster - in a good way!
It's a fantastic initiative and we've also passed on our recommendations to our football affiliate (APFL). Huge thanks again to Makayla and Netball SA for facilitating the night and bringing it to our association.
As a collective, the APNA Clubs are strongly supportive of the 3 values and have approved for our Association to subsidised the cost of providing large courtside corflute signage with these values to be put up at all clubs within our league. These would be similar to the handout, with the wording 'APNA Supports' and our logo across the bottom.
We'd like to reach out to see if you are happy for us to include the LLTS logo alongside, and if so could you please provide us with a hi-res version for our printing company? Along with any formatting specs as required.
Makayla, we'd also be happy to include the Netball SA logo alongside if this was also of interest.
The criteria for our Association's Anzac Day medal has been updated this year - which was previously only awarded to the A1 grade. This season a medal will be presented to a player from every grade in the Association who embodies the Anzac Spirit, and who also displays Sportsmanship, Respect and Tries their Hardest. We felt this was such an appropriate representation of the award.
Kind regards
Kateena Jenkin
APNA Secretary
