Triumph comes in more than one form, as the Antelope Valley Athletic Club knows. Not only has AVAC encouraged character in sports, through clinics and mentoring programs, but during CC! Week 2000 it presented two character awards (one for boys and one for girls) in its Summer Basketball League playoffs and championship. League coaches and parents nominated kids from each team who exemplified the Six Pillars, then coaches selected the winners. AVAC plans to continue the character awards program in all its leagues and clinics.
