CLUB PLAYER AWARDS HISTORY

On March 7, 2023, our Community Engagement Officer (and multi-team coach), Gavin Hugh, was presented with the runner up award for Coach of the Year 2023 at the Kirkcaldy & Central Fife Sports Council Awards in recognition of his efforts during the 2022/23 season.

Gavin was nominated in recognition for all the coaching he delivers on behalf of the Club, during the day to Primary and High School pupils, running a criculum School of Basketball sessions, and after school sessions.

In addition, during the evening and weekends Gavin volunteers as Head Coach for the U10’s, U14’s U16’s and U18 delivering training sessions for our Club players.

He also promotes the delivery of the Saltire Award, training and supporting our younger coaches in the sport.

He also organises and delivers the successful Summer, October and Easter Basketball Camps.

He has been the face of our club for the last few years, welcoming new players into the club, managing players movements as the progress through the club sections.

He is also behind the scenes creating social media news releases on the various media platforms.

it does not end there, where Gavin also volunteers as one of the U14 Regional Coaches, where he runs advanced basketball sessions, shaping our next Scottish players.

So you can see, the work Gavin continues to undertake, and in his own time, he is worthy of this award, and we thank him for his enthusiasm as he continues to coach our players in the Club.

Congratulations Gavin

Team Award - 2021/22 Season

In March, 2023, Our Senior Men received a nomination for Best Team Award at the Kirkcaldy & Central Fife Sports Council Awards in recognition of performances in the 2021/22 season.

After 2 and a bit years of no events due to Covid, KCFSC were able to return to Fife College, in Kirkcaldy, for a few hours of celebration of sporting achievement coming out of the borough over the past year.

A few of the Senior Men players along with Ross and Malc from the Committee were in attendance at the awards in Thursday night, witness to a number of awards given out in different categories to some incredible athletes and their achievements over the year. Who knew Kirkcaldy had so many elite athletes?

Ostensibly looking at 21/22 as a marker for achievement the Council saw fit to nominate our senior Men on the back of their excellent Lothian League Division 2 Play-Off victory.

While the lads didn’t win the overall award they were gifted medals and a nice glass trophy as one of the 2 runners up in the category. The category winners were the high achieving Kirkcaldy Kestrals Ice Hockey team.

Since 2019/20 season the Senior Men have done fairly well, given our new status in the league, winning the Third division league title without sweat, suffering a ponderous wait over the covid-times with no competition and then returning to action in 21/22 and winning the play-offs for Division 2.

This award, though a runner up one, adds to that tally and we can only look forward from here – for all our squads!
