The Wimmera Regional Sports Assembly’s Change Our Game campaign showcases the success of women in sport and encourages the recreation sector to challenge gender stereotypes and help women and girls become leaders.
Dark has been a role model for Stawell women at the Stawell Warriors and the Stawell Wildcats.
Dark was honoured to receive the award and was keen to see who the other 11 winners were.
“Females often struggle to get recognition in sport so it is very special to me,” Dark said.
“It is nice to see an award just for females.”
Dark has enjoyed her involvement with sporting clubs in the area including playing, coaching, umpiring and doing the training role.
“Sport teaches you so many skills you can use in life and I think it is super important for development,” Dark said.
