We have a "spirit pack" that kids are expected to purchase or fundraise for every year. It includes shirt, shorts, game socks, mouthpiece, helmet decals, practice jersey, etc. All items that are "throw away." Our Varsity kids keep (buy) one jersey- home or away- each year, so each year we replace one set. Our JV team gets a team bag- I have plenty for our frosh to use for free. Our Frosh get game jerseys (that turn into practice jerseys following years). Long story short, one thing I've seriously considered is making girdles a part of their spirit pack. One girdle should be able to last two seasons, so maybe include it as a frosh item, and as a Varsity item.

I agree with giving helmet decals for academics. We have navy helmets, and we give out silver decals each Friday, if a kid turns in his grade check with all good marks. We will also give them a silver decal if a teacher calls or e-mails a football coach about improvement, effort, or good behavior in class. We give out white decals for two things...everyone gets a white decal if we win. And each coach gives out a "practice player of the day" at the end of our hard practices. The coach says a few words about how much effort that kid gave in practice that day, and everyone gives him applause. It is the only "individual" award we give in terms of helmet decals.
