The Local Sport Alliances (LSAs) across Leicestershire, Leicester and Rutland are running their local Sports Awards again this year. Each LSA will hold an event to showcase and celebrate the achievements of local clubs and individuals in their areas, and also to highlight the great developments in sport, physical activity and health at a local level.

LSAs are made up of individuals that represent all levels of sport and physical activity at a local level. They are a collection of people who have a desire to develop and promote sport and physical activity. They are made up of representatives from local authorities, schools, sports clubs, sports centres, volunteer networks and wider community groups.

There is a variety of categories across the Awards and once again winners from certain categories from the LSA Sports Awards will feed into the Leicester Mercury Awards nominations process. The categories that will align will be:

  • Sportsman of the Year
  • Sportswoman of the Year
  • Team of the Year
  • Manager/Coach of the Year
  • Under 19/School Team of the Year
  • Young Sportsman of the Year
  • Young Sportswomen of the Year
  • Junior Sportsman of the Year
  • Junior Sportswomen of the Year
  • Active 4 Life Award
  • Community Award
  • Lifetime Achievement Award
