The SEC names a Community Service Team for each of its 21 league-sponsored sports, looking to highlight an athlete from each school who gives back to his or her community through superior service efforts. All league-sponsored sports have had a community service team since 2004, with at-large teams for men and women’s sports being chosen from 1999-2003. The SEC began this concept with a football community service team in 1994.
