Sportswomen of the Year Awards Banquet  Every year since 1995 the YWCA, in partnership with the Women's Sports Foundation, has proudly sponsored the Sportswomen of the Year Awards Banquet.  Awards are given to exceptional women and girl athletes in Westmoreland County for their outstanding athletic achievements.  Over 800 female athletes have been honored since the program's inception.  Much of the program's success is due to the tremendous support received from the people and businesses in the community.  There are several sponsorship opportunities available, all of which are practical ways to show your support for women and girls involved in sports.    The awards banquet is held at the end of March or early April each year.  Nomination forms are mailed out in January.  Contact the YWCA office for a nomination packet or click the link below.    Nomination Forms Awards are Given in the Following Categories: Sports Girl of the Year (middle school level) Sports Teen of the Year for Individual Excellence (high school level) Sports Teen of the Year for Personal Accomplishment (high school level) Sportswoman of the Year (college level) Special Needs Sportswoman of the Year Girls Sports Team of the Year (grades 6-8) Teen Sports Team of the Year (grades 9-12) Sportswomen Team of the Year (college or adult team) Women's Coach Award Women's Health and Fitness Award
