ASBA AWARDS PROGRAM

Introduction and General Information

The purpose of the awards program is to support the ASBA’s goal of promoting excellence in sports facility construction. The program recognizes those facilities built or designed by ASBA members which have attained this goal. Awards will be made to the facility with recognition to participating ASBA members. Awards are granted to as many facilities as meet the standard of excellence as determined by the judging committee.

Distinguished Facility Award Categories

Indoor Tennis Facility
Outdoor Tennis Facility
Residential Tennis Facility

Outdoor Track Facility

Following their review of the awards applications in the above categories, on a pass/fail system, the individual members of the awards committee are allowed to pick three projects in each category, which they consider the best of all of those they have judged.

NOTE: Indoor tennis courts and running tracks may be recognized either in the tennis or track categories or in the indoor category. They then review these projects and decide where they rank to determine the Facility of the Year winners. Award winners in all facility categories are notified of their status and encouraged to come to the Technical Meeting to accept their awards. Announcement of the Facility of the Year is made at the Technical Meting, but not announced in advance.
