Texas Youth Football League Does Away With "Participation Trophies"

Quote:I'm ok with this approach.  Even if every kid got a little trophy, and then you provided extracurriculars to other kids that showed good sportsmanship, mvp, etc etc....

 

Giving a piece of paper to every kid is the same as giving a cheap trophy to every kid.  In the end, they mean the same thing.
 

Nah, I'd think the trophies would still mean more, but as said, everyone would be getting this participation paper as a sort of thank you for playing - even the kids that got the trophies. 

 

 

I wouldn't give even a small trophy out to anyone but the team superlatives. They have to mean something more. Its not the price/ or how nice it is (in response to SDR's $3 piece of wood comment) , but the symbolic value thats the issue.
