MVP or Most Valuable Player Award Template
It takes hard work, grit, and determination to stand above the other players on a team. Whether it’s t-ball or the NFL, the most valuable player on the team really makes a difference and the MVP deserves to be recognized.
Most Improved Award Template
When you have an athlete who isn’t necessarily the immediate stand-out or the leader of the team, but instead has come a long way from where they were in the beginning of the sporting season. This player didn’t quit. This player showed up, worked hard, and improved at the sport. These athletes are known for being most improved and they should be recognized with a memorable award.
Rookie of the Year Award Template
Being new to something is not always easy. Not only are you learning a new skill, system, or team, but you’re also building relationships and trying to contribute. Recognize the new person who really stands out and begin preparing them to lead the team in the future.
