Trophies, medals, or a pat-on-the-back

Sorry to hear the game was rained out but it provides us a chance to address some team business.

At the end of the year the YMCA provides coaches with information and costs for a recommended trophy distributor that works with the YMCA. The cost of a year-end trophy or medal for the kids is not included in league costs; however, they are usually pretty reasonable. This year being no exception:

3.25 for medals
5.25 for trophies

If everyone is onboard with purchasing an award for the kids I would recommend the medals. They take up less space, cannot be used as easily as a weapon against a sibling or parent yet elicit the same giddy response from the kids as a trophy would. If anyone is not onboard please let me know; otherwise, I will place an order for the team next Tuesday after practice and we can settle up later.
