Rewarding your team for their outstanding daily efforts, both in practice and during games, doesn’t have to end with a generic trophy handed out identically to each player as they move around the school stage. This year hand out awards that teammates will be proud to display, whether it be medals, trophies or plaques.
Here are some ideas for personalized prizes:
The player most value
Bounce King/Queen
Most points scored
Sportsmanship. This is often more important than skill when it comes to game day.
Best team player. This award is different from the MVP because he is not necessarily the best player on the team statistically, but rather the character that drives your team to perform better under pressure.
anonymous hero. There are many players who may not be #1 or #2 or even #5, but whose personalities and actions really push the team forward. Honor them.
Most assists
best defensive player
Trainers Award. Very rarely do coaches go unrecognized for their hard work. As they take care of practices, training, and player awards, you can thank them for everything.
Give out medals, plaques or trophies to your top performers, motivators and hard workers for their additions to the team. The best way to see who is doing what? Watch all players closely during drill practice and keep track of who is playing not only the best but also who is playing the hardest on game day. The trophies are not just for the winning players or the winning team, but for each person who helped make a difference.
