Service to University Sport

Outstanding and Highly Commendable Contribution

The recognition is for sport service at University of Adelaide level only and, accordingly, should be seen as a separate and distinctive from affiliated club award systems. It is regarded as a higher award than Club Letters in the case of club-based service.

The "Service Award" is to recognise people who have given an outstanding and highly commendable contribution to Adelaide University Sport, or to sport at the University of Adelaide, of at least 10 years' duration for Association-based service and 15 years for club-based service. The awards may be given posthumously.

Honorary Life Membership of Adelaide University Sport, however, shall continue to be conferred upon any person who, in the opinion of the Council following consideration of a recommendation from the AU Sport Board, has rendered long and single service to the Association. It is regarded as a higher award than a Service Award.
