earn trophies? The “trophies for all” policy is part of a bigger change that has swept youth sports over the past two decades. Today, rules in many leagues require equal playing time for all team members. “The focus isn’t on winning,” says Coffin. “It’s about building skills.” Not everyone should get earn a trophy because if we just win we will not build up skill and it won’t teach us that failing is ok. In life, trophies shouldn’t be recognized as a need. If everyone gets one, then trophies will

Kids in sports shouldn’t receive trophies for participating in sports. Children who participate in activities such as sport and music, earn trophies just for taking part in it. Ribbons, trophies, and medals are handed out at the end of the season to everyone children, to make everything fair. But, is this really fair to everyone? Just because they participated and showed up to some practices, doesn’t mean they deserve it. It wouldn’t be fair giving an award to a player who demonstrated a bad attitude

Studies have show that giving out participation trophies can make kids grow up to be narcissistic,irresponsible,lazy,and unmotivated. A debate has been going on between parents a while now over kids receiving participation trophies in activities like sports. I beleive that kids should not receive participant trophies. Participant trophies teach kids that they don't have to work hard. For example in any sports game if a kid doesn't win they will get a trophy anyway. This makes people not want to work

is not in play. What happened to going out and earning it? If a child ask their parent for a new cell phone, the parent should tell them to get the money themselves, not give it to them. Is it the same concept with participation trophies. The kids don’t earn those trophies, it’s just giving kids a little award for nothing. Giving an award to a child for participation has been of controversy recently, but the should no. Children that receive awards for showing up to sit around and talk is not an accomplishment

lately if kids should get participation trophies. Participation trophies are the trophies handed out to the kids or teams that do not do good in the competition. Now my opinion is I think they should get rid of the participation trophies for good. I think it takes all the competition out of it and it makes kids think they do not have to try as hard because they know they are getting a trophy no matter what. Other people argue that if all the kids get a trophy it gives them the courage to keep playing

going to get a trophy. Then, he looks to his opponent and saw that he was getting the same trophy as Billy! Billy felt very depressed after that because he worked so hard to win just to see the opponent getting a trophy for clearly not as much work. Participation trophies started in the 60’s to motivate inner city kids, but it spread like wildfire everywhere. Kids should not get trophies just for participating they need to work hard to get them this is ,because after time trophies can lose their

clear point. The point is that not everyone is a winner, in fact, very few of us are. Although parents take great pleasure watching their children receive awards, participation trophies should not be given to all participants because they devalue the awards and they do not teach children about the spirit of competition.

Have you ever received a trophy or ribbon in your life from sports or science fairs or anything in between?  Now a day's coaches or teachers will pass out trophies and ribbons to those who really do not deserve it. Not because they were bad, but because they did not work hard enough to earn it. Giving rewards to kids who do not try their best and still get a trophy could lead them down a road to disaster. They will grow up thinking everything they are getting rewarded, when in the real life that

Participation trophies send a dangerous message. I have many trophies,but i worked hard for these trophies. Everyone on my team deserves my team. For the people who think giving out the same award at the end of the year to all the children; i am  sorry to inform you that your hurting the child more than not giving the child the trophy at all.

In the article “Rich in Thought: Not Every Olympian Gets Medal,” Richard Paloma mentioned the increasingly self-congratulatory society, which is insisting on the “everyone gets a trophy” custom, particularly in many youth sports league and schools.
