Everyone Loves a Medal
“I want a trophy, I want a trophy!” said the five year old soccer player who probably did not participate during the game by the way! sport trophies are always tantalizing mementos for the younger set no matter what sport they are playing or what event they are involved in doing at that time. For the older generation, a type of trophy for them to get excited about is a customized plaque with their family arms heraldry depicted for all to enjoy. Whatever your age, whatever your sport, whatever your interest, everyone loves a sport trophy!
The types of trophies available are truly endless and the cost differentiation is equally as ongoing. Another less expensive option to the sport trophy is a medal with a ribbon to go around your neck. The medal has a lot of benefits over the trophy. The first benefit is low cost. Medals are simple to make, order and ship. They are handed out readily to individuals as well. Take a running race for instance, medals are handed out at the finish line for races ranging from one hundred to upwards of thirty thousand people! It would be impossible to hand out sport trophies to all of those people. Ribbons can then be stored on a hook or curtain rod or anywhere which is another benefit over trophies which take up a lot more storage space.
Sport trophies, however, are the end all with a lot of kids. There is such a variety of types of trophies not even considering the sport including snow globe trophies, bobble head trophies, and three toned metallic trophies which look like artistic statues. The kids just want a memento of whatever sport or activity they were involved in.
Trophies can be handed out for diverse situations. They can be distributed for winning an individual event or team game. They can also be used for participation only and this seems to be the norm for younger children playing in sports or involved in activities these days. Another way trophies are given is one huge award for a group or team to share. In these cases, the trophy is sometimes passed around to individual team members to hold onto for a specified period of time before it is passed on to the next player or group member. In other instances, the group trophy is displayed in a centralized location for all to see and appreciate. This may also occur after the trophy has been fairly distributed to individual team members or group participants.
Whatever the sport, whatever the activity, whatever the season, there is a trophy to be had! The trophy can be for the individual team member or group member or one for theentire membership. but one sure thing is that all people, young or old, love getting a trophy or medal. So it is easy to make that five year old soccer player happy that chooses not to participate by offering her a trophy and while you are at it, throw in a medal too!
