Gerry Smith Sportsmanship Awards
The Gerry Smith Awards will be presented at halftime of a Fitch Falcons Game in February. Each team selects an individual on the team to receive the Award .
In 2005, the Parks & Recreation Commission initiated the creation of the Gerry Smith Sportsmanship Award upon the passing of Mr. Smith, a commissioner who served for many years. Mr. Smith's passion for basketball and his work as a youth basketball referee led to the creation of the award in his honor. The Parks and Recreation Commission recognizes the outstanding sportsmanship displayed by all players, but seeks to recognize those individuals who display exceptional teamwork, respect, effort and behavior.
For more information, please contact Ben Morse or call 860-536-5680.
