Last week, Stafford Parks, Recreation and Tourism held the Red Fines Sportsmanship Awards at Courthouse Community Center in Stafford, Virginia.

The Red Fines Award is given annually in honor of Mr. Red Fines, a long-time resident of Stafford County who helped establish sports for youth in the county. His time and energy helped to provide activities for youth in several different sports.

The awards are given to youth sports teams that exemplify ideals of good sportsmanship and fair play. The winners are chosen by their fellow coaches and players of the league in which they play.

Take a scroll through our pictures and show some love to some of the well-deserved winners!

If you're interested in sports this summer, sign up for our Sports Summer Camps here bit.ly/StaffordParksSportsCamps
