I'm helping the HC set up an off-season challenge for my team similar to what Northwestern used this past off-season (have next-year's seniors pick groups, then award points based on weight room attendance/gains, gpa, participation in other sports, team-building activities, etc.) Any suggestions on items that will cost the player/group points (or gain them)? I'm trying to think of as many things as I can that might come up. Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated. Also, have any of you run into problems implementing something like this that we should be aware of?

Deduct points for workouts missed, tardys, referals, messy locker room... we do something similar to that. It works great and kids really want to step up and be leaders.

There's some stuff on my site. Click on Off-Season Competition. Thanks gunrun, you have a great site, but that's part of the problem. I was looking through your stuff about the team challenge and really liked the idea. We have done a points system in the past, but it was always individual. I really liked the idea of doing groups to make it more interesting for all the kids. We figured on using most of the criteria we had before for each athlete, I was just looking for anything else we might have missed since we are overhauling the system, so-to-speak. We are also looking into purchasing a title belt that would go to the winning team leader.....I think the kids would get more of a kick out of that rather than a trophy....
