Football Award Ideas For Kids
After countless “Hut! Hut! Hut!”s and game-winning touchdowns, it’s time to officially mark the end of the football season. And since celebrations are in order, why not throw your very own football awards?
Youth football is more than just winning games. It’s the perfect activity to inspire confidence, teamwork, and growth in kids, and they should definitely be rewarded for their efforts. Hosting an impromptu football awards ceremony is a great opportunity for you to recognize all their hard work, inspiring them to go even harder the next season.
Don’t know what to gift your players? Don’t worry – we have your (quarter)back! Here, we’ve listed a few football award ideas that will make the little ones feel like they’ve won the official Super Bowl ring.
-
Custom Rings
Speaking of rings, who says they’re only reserved for the MVPs? Your entire team can feel like superstars with custom football rings. They are fun, flashy, and super personalizable. You can add each player’s name, their jersey number, and even the team’s logo. It’s definitely a football award that feels like winning gold!
-
Medals
You can never go wrong with classic sports awards! Medals are classic, timeless, and will put a huge grin on the little football prodigies as you’re handing them out. Since they’re larger than rings, you can include special award titles like “Best Scorer”, “Most Touchdowns”, or “Team Player Of The Year”.
-
Commemorative Coins
Coins are an excellent idea to commemorate a huge milestone, like your best season yet! Like all the previously mentioned football awards, you can customize them in any way you want. Keep in mind that these are more suitable for older kids as they can keep them as a collector's item. That said, the coins will challenge them even more, encouraging them to rack up as many coins as possible.
-
Swag Bags
We highly doubt there’s someone who doesn’t love a good swag bag! The best thing about them is that you can include as many items as you want – wristbands, customized water bottles, stickers – you name it! Swag bags are excellent if you have multiple teams, since you can score a great deal when getting them in bulk.

Personalized Football
Imagine the smiles on your team’s faces when they see a football with their name on it – priceless! Not only that, but you can even include the team’s name and each player’s jersey number. Rest assured, they won’t want to play with any other ball once you hand them this award. But hey, that’s a good thing – they’ll be more prepared than ever for the next season!
You don’t have to spend a fortune to recognize your players’ efforts and inspire team spirit. As you can see, these football award ideas are very budget-friendly and will contribute to valuable keepsakes the kids will treasure for years on end. So, choose the one you like the most and plan a Super Bowl-like ceremony!
