Through a long season, it's difficult to keep your
players excited and motivated for every practice. A great and simple
way to help motivate your players is with the Golden Ball.
Simply take an old ball (baseball, football, basketball,
soccer ball, etc.) and spray paint it metallic gold. Award the Golden
Ball to the player that performed the best in a practice or game.
At the end of practice present the player with the ball and explain
to the team why the player deserved the award. The player gets to
keep the ball until the next practice.
Make sure to remind the players of the award at the
start of every practice and challenge them to win it.
Try your best to ensure that every player wins the
award during the year.
