[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our team does two.  We have a team breakfast that is free on the Friday morning before Divisionals.  It's held during the Friday morning practice time and very few parents attend.  Bagels, fruit, juice and coffee.  This is where the paper plate awards are given out.

Saturday night after Divisionals is the family team banquet.  It's held at the pool and starts with the Family Relays.  These are fun relays but some families are pretty competitive.  Years ago the dinner used to be pot luck but it's been catered for probably about a dozen years.  Usually BBQ.  The team does cover part of the cost.  I think it's been about $10 per person.  After dinner they hand out the trophies and the evening ends with a slideshow.  We always get a good turnout.

Yes, everyone gets a trophy but we actually give out bigger trophies to swimmers who are available for every A meet.  You don't actually have to qualify and swim in an A meet - you just have to indicate that you're available to swim at every A meet.  So a kid who never swims a single A meet may get a bigger trophy than the super star who misses one meet because they're at a club meet.

So you just give giant participation trophies? That’s the dumbest thing I’ve heard in awhile. Thanks for the laugh! [/quote]
