In an incredibly tight race that was decided by just a single point, Manchester's Elizandra Costa is this year's North conference MVP.
Costa narrowly pipped team-mate Irene Oboavwoduo, claiming the season's top award after helping the Mystics to a perfect 8-0 North Conference campaign.
As the North's top scorer (20.0PPG), Costa was a menace at both ends of the court as she also nabbed an impressive 4.2SPG.
Stepping up from All-First Team honours a year ago to claim MVP honours, Costa's continued progress wasn't lost on the coaches across the WEABL.
City of London Academy - Southwark have their first South MVP winner since 2021/22 as Ayla Habbal collects this year's award.
Playing a key role in CoLA's 9-1 campaign where the Londoners only missed out on the Conference title due to the head-to-head tiebreaker with Copleston, Habbal was a driving force behind her side's successful regular season.
Habbal follows in the foot steps of Isi Ozzy-Momodu with the accolade, earning recognition for her WEABL-leading 6.3APG to go with 13.7PPG and 3.2SPG.
Given their perfect record, it is no surprise to see Manchester's Peter Paraskeva named as the North Coach of the Year.
Following on from Manchester's previous winner Rob Fairley in 2022/23, Paraskeva helmed the North West programme to a stunning campaign, running the rule over the rest of the conference in style.
Paraskeva also oversaw the development of MVP Elizandra Costa, with the likes of Irene Oboavwoduo, Alexandra Hernandez and Most Improved Player award winner Carina Costa also enjoying strong seasons.
After a one year departure, City of London Academy - Southwark's Jackson Gibbons is back as the South's Coach of the Year.
With six WEABL awards already under his belt, Gibbons continue to impress the other leaders across the Conference as CoLA lost just once in the regular season.
As Ayla Habbal improved to pick up the MVP award, and with four CoLA players picking up All-First or All-Second Team honours this season, Gibbons was a popular choice for this year's award.
Costa takes up her automatic spot in the First team, returning to this line-up from a year ago, with four other worthy selections slotting in around the Manchester product.
Team-mate Irene Oboavwoduo (17.4PPG, 10.1RPG, 4.4APG, 4.1SPG) was the conference's most efficient player, making her selection a logical one.
Nottingham's Tiarna Chambers-Desmond (15.9PPG, 8.2RPG, 1.8BPG) also enjoyed a solid campaign, as did The Sheffield College's Marissa Evans (15.8PPG, 6.1RPG).
The five is rounded out by Charnwood's Emily Taylor, with the lone Riders' pick averaging 18.1PPG and 3.4APG across 2024/25.
Habbal is automatically placed into this season's First team, and is joined by a pair of familiar faces in Adaora Dioramma and Chloe Vella.
Dioramma continued to capitalise on her enormous talent after being named the conference's U17 Player of the Year in 2023/24, and her 11.1PPG, 8.5RPG averages show her development.
Vella (9.0PPG, 7.7RPG) was unfortunate to suffer a season-ending injury in January but the WEABL South's coaches had seen enough from the former Richmond Knights stand out in her seven games of action to vote her into the All-First Team.
Barking's Megan Verbeeten earned the WEABL's scoring title for this year after her 20.1PPG average, also leading the league with 1.9BPG for good measure.
WEABL efficiency leaders Louisa Gibbins also nabs a place in the five in her final year of action, finishing her Copleston career with 12.0PPG, 10.3RPG, 3.2SPG splits and improving from her All-Second team selection in 2023/24.
Manchester Mystics continue to earn accolades with WEABL steals leader Carina Costa (12.6PPG, 5.0SPG) being voted into the All-Second team, with Charnwood duo Charley Woodman (11.6PPG, 3.8APG) and Louise Fisher (13.0PPG, 9.1RPG, 1.1BPG) also getting the nod.
The remaining two spots are taken up by Nottingham's Alina Riley (11.8PPG, 3.6APG), and Milton Keynes 5 Dimensions Breakers Academy's only award winner in their debut WEABL season, Faith Deakin.
Deakin finished third in the WEABL with 19.6PPG despite her side's winless campaign, displaying her clear potential.
There's more CoLA love in the South as Debra Wilson-Osuide's (8.4PPG) season is highlighted, with Copleston duo Maisie Keyes (14.7PPG, 4.9APG) and Cerys Leach (17.3PPG, 2.7SPG) also selected.
Oaklands' Caitlin Ryan (12.6PPG, 6.6RPG, 3.6SPG) is another standout player to earn votes from coaches across the Conference, with JMA Reading Rockets' Millie Day (18.7PPG, 6.7RPG) completing the line up.
For the second year in a row, the North's top Defensive Player goes to Manchester's Alexandra Hernandez.
Manchester had the North's top defence, allowing just 52.3PPG, with Hernandez more than playing her part in that with 4.2SPG.
In the South, Louisa Gibbins earns Defensive honours as she anchored the league's best defence.
Allowing a stingy 45.4PPG, nearly seven points better than their next closest rival, no player pulled down more defensive rebounds (73) than Gibbins this season, whilst her 1.3BPG ranks fifth-best for the year.
Manchester's Carina Costa and JMA's Millie Day are recipients of this year's Most Improved Player awards.
Costa (12.6PPG, 5.0SPG) continues the sweep of this year's awards for the North West programme, earning All-Second Team honours behind a solid contributions at both ends of the court.
Despite JMA's struggles, going winless across their ten games, Millie Day has been a shining light in the Berkshire programme's season.
Putting up 18.7PPG to go with 6.7RPG, Day led the Rockets in the majority of their stat categories this season (minutes, efficiency, points, rebounds, 3pt percentage), whilst coming second for both assists and steals.
Awarded to the best Year 12 players from across the league, Manchester's Irene Oboavwoduo and City of London Academy - Southwark's Chloe Vella have both been recognised.
Despite playing in her first WEABL campaign, Oboavwoduo has already ascended to one of the league's standouts, and her 17.4PPG, 10.1RPG, 4.4APG, 4.1SPG numbers suggest the GB star will be a WEABL force for the duration of her tenure at Manchester.
Chloe Vella is the South's pick, with her promising debut campaign shining brightly before being curtailed through an Achilles injury.
With 9.0PPG and 7.7RPG this season before being ruled out, coaches and fans alike are sure to be excited to see what Vella can produce once she comes back at full strength in 2025/26.
