It’s your last chance to support our captain Josh Kennedy who is among a group of 10 elite athletes vying for the Sports Dad of the Year award to be announced on Father’s Day this Sunday, September 2.

The award showcases the contribution Australia's sporting elite make to their families both on and off the field. 

Now in its tenth year, the Philips Sports Dad of the Year will highlight 10 elite athletes across a range of sports, giving insights into how they juggle fatherhood with their sporting commitments. 

This year's nominated Sports Dads will be profiled on sportsdads.com.au which will include questions and answers from the players about their families, as well as comments from the athletes' family.

All voters have the opportunity to win special prizes for their own father this Father's Day, with the winning Philips Sports Dad of the Year receiving $5,000 to donate to their charity of choice and Josh’s is the Starlight Foundation.

This year’s finalists are NSW Origin stars, the Panthers James Maloney and David Klemmer, from the Bulldogs, the man who led Cronulla to their first premiership Paul Gallen, larrikin and Broncos champion Sam Thaiday, the man regarded as a future League Immortal Johnathan Thurston, Tigers wizard Benji Marshall and one of South Sydney’s trio of Burgess giants George Burgess. The NRL stars will be joined by AFL champions Josh Kennedy, our captain and premiership winner and the man who lead Richmond to last year’s AFL premiership Trent Cotchin. Wallaby scrum half, the silky Will Genia, rounds out the field.
