Should every youth athlete get a trophy just for participating in a sport? NO! Reward only the best. According to several articles youth athletes are being given trophies just for participating in a sport. The money spent on the trophies simply is not worth it. It does not teach youth athletes how the real world works because they are not being earned. Although, trophies do not really hurt the youth athletes so I can see that they may not be a detriment.
The money spent on the trophies simply is not worth giving them. Teams spend $2000 to $3000 dollars on participation trophies. The funds could be used to train coaches, offer scholarships or hire more staff. Participation trophies are a poor use of funds.
