Play #07 from the Game Plan

Trophy & Awards Business

Celebrate Every Victory

Like it or not, we live in a world of 'participation trophies'. The people who love that idea are the people who are providing these trophies and awards to all the kids participating in sports. Not only do teams provide trophies to their kids, but most high school athletes receive 'Letters', certificates, pins and plaques for each season they play in. This is huge business and residual business every year.
