Have the AC's give them out to their kids. Could be game awards or even practice awards. They are in a better position to select for their own guys. We are a small team about 28 right now so all the coaches are around all the kids all the time. Like the idea of position coaches handing them out though. I hate these things cause someone has to track all the BS and stats etc that go with them. Gonna try and keep it as simple as possible with very easy goals. I used to hate all this stuff. Still do really, but I give out so many stupid awards I am embarrassed by it sometimes. BUT the way we do it, the kids love it and it makes them enjoy football a little bit more than if we didn't. I am not tracking any stats though for an award. Just find things you want to emphasize and give them out for that. Another way you can do it and we do some of it is to tie it into film. An example would be telling the kids if they can find 5 great block destruction moves on film and bring the play numbers then you get a sticker. Or if want your combos on the o line to be tighter than you can tell the kids if they find 2 good combo blocks and 1 combo block that needs work they earn a sticker. This is kind of how I have used them to be more purposeful. |

If you are looking for alternatives, feed them, by position, in replaceme stickers for individual stuff, side of the ball. Pizza always works, grocery stores will donate many times… and a good ole fashioned cook out. Kids and adults always show up when food is involved.

Didn't like them but program had them and kids loved them so.... For us, the AC's handed them out based on practice hustle, watching hudl and game performance. I was the OL coach and I would grade each player's game performance (1-5) each week (did that anyway and reviewed with the player). If a player got a 3.6 or above he got a sticker. Always made a spectacle of giving the stickers to linemen and they loved it.
If a kid completely crapped the bed the box cutter came out and he lost one. Some of these kids, holy cow, you'd think I was taking off a limb. It was rare but it happened. Their performance always improved dramatically the following week. |

Gradings so subjective that there’s no way to compare with different coaches and programs |

Pardon me if I didn't read the whole thread but my intial thought was..
"Yeah boss, that sounds awesome! You wanna come in Saturday morning to give those out or Monday afternoon?"
