Wrestling Trophies is a great way to reward that son for a job well done on the wrestling mat. Volleyball Trophies is perfect for the daughter that went to practice everyday and did her best to help the team win. It’s great that America is filled with all kinds of sports and that our school systems support most of these sports. Surveys and studies have both shown that kids that actively participate in sports are less likely to get into trouble. All parents should try to find a sport or a hobby that their kids can get excited about and it’s really great when they can achieve some level that is worthy of a trophy.

I grew up playing sports and it continues to be a big part of my life. For the most part, I have stayed out of trouble and I’m sure sports had a lot to do with it. The first sport I ever played was baseball. I was in 2nd grade and half the team went to the same school as I did. We had a perfect season as the Yankees team in the local Pee Wee League. After our perfect season of 16 wins and no losses, we all got trophies for our first place accomplishments. I was so excited to get that trophy, I couldn’t wait to get more. I wasn’t that talented in baseball and soon learned basketball was more my sport. I got several trophies for basketball over the years playing on teams or in basketball camps I attended. By the time my teen years and sports playing years were over, I had racked up about 10 trophies. I still have them today and each one holds a special memory for me.

Your child may play with a good football team and earn a trophy on their own, but it wouldn’t be a bad idea to give them an individual trophy if the team didn’t succeed. I don’t think it’s bad for a soccer coach to buy his team soccer trophies; even if they don’t win a single game. We can reward our youth for effort and it isn’t always measured in wins or loses. I hope parents do encourage their kids to play sports and will reward them with trophies when the time is appropriate.
