[quote=Anonymous]You know, I have mixed feelings about this. I do not like participation trophies, as it devalues hard work. But, as a kid, and into young adulthood I had never won an award. And other people had these trophy cases. What I did when I coached was made a set of unique awards -- focused on the impact a player had on the team. For example, there were co MVP's, Best defended, best defensive play (adjusted at the last minute when, hours before our end of season party, a girl caught the pop fly, tagged the runner going from first to second, and stepped on on second for a season ending triple play). But, I digress. The awards should mean something. I can be as simple as most hustle during practice. I even had best cheering (and yes, that girl is a cheerleader now). Or most focus during games. Because everyone has a contribution. [/quote]
