In 2018, Kingston Blues Netball Club introduced an award, sponsored and conceived by our Club Patron, Patsy Makarewicz.

The Patsy Mak Good Sports Award aims to encourage and recognise positive behaviours that reflect the Club’s core values and will be awarded each week to a player from each team that best meets the following criteria.

At the end of each season, the coach(es) of each team will nominate the winner of the Patsy Mak award. These will be presented at the Junior and Senior presentation dinners.

The continued success of the club and the growth of our values within it, are important to Patsy Mak and our committee and we aim to instill these values into every member of our club, players, coaches, umpires and committee.
