Maddy Commins, Brooke Harpley and Hayley Stevens were named best and fairest for the Gems, Stars and Storm respectively.
Receiving the club's top award - sportsperson of the year - was Madison Harpley.
In addition to being a player in the premiership winning 14s team, Madison also referees for both the 10s and 12s teams.
Dedicating the extra time to the sport so players can have a game on the court, Madison said she put in the extra work and time because she loved the sport.
"It's something to do other than playing ... it's pretty easy to do," she said.
She said winning the club's top prize was a "definite bonus".
In addition to the refereeing, Madison shares her skills knowledge by training the team's up-and-coming players.
"I'd like to see other players do the same," she said.
Votes for award winners are tallied in different ways, following a game the rival team votes for who it judges to be its three best opponents.
During the third and fourth quarters of games, players' parents also get the chance to vote on who they think are doing best on the court, publicity officer Natasha Harpley said.
"The sportsperson of the year is voted on by four parents who have watched the games throughout the year," she said.
The club's top award celebrates the player who contributes most to the club throughout the season and is donated by Edna and Noel Poynter.
Mrs Harpley said the club wanted to encourage the younger players to become more involved to ensure the club continued to thrive.
