I ruffled some feathers at the club when I campaigned for and pushed through the elimination of "participation awards" for everyone at the end of the season. while that is cool for rec league kids, these are competitive teams and they should be rewarded for hard work, not just showing up.
We now have a new program in place that each team handles separately at the end of each month of the season.
Team awards are limited to the trophies they receive for winning, and tags for the kit bags for any tournament they place 1-3rd.
Individual Awards:
Blood patch: When a player takes a knock in the game and keeps on playing.
Assist patch: The player with the highest number assists for the month.
Goal patch: highest number of goals
Save patch: Highest number of saves
Each team can create their own special patches and ribbons but they must be tied to behaviors, not just showing up and paying the club fees.
