I have been exploring adding to our program stickers to the helmet when players have some many tackles, interception or kid breaks hunderd yards rushing or receiving in a game. Just wanted to know if any of you coaches out there have a system like this that I could use to help set up mine. Thanks

We started doing that a couple of years ago. Kids love it. Its amazing what a little piece of plastic will do for motivation. We give them out for things like:
OFFENSE
100 yd rusher (back gets one AND offensive line gets one)
250+ team rushing (enitre offense)
150+ passing (QB)
No sacks (OL)
TD (Individual)

DEFENSE
Sack/TFL (Individual)
Interception/Fumble Recovery (Individual)
<150 Rusing(Team)
<100 Passing(Team)
10+ Tackles(Individual)

SPECIAL TEAMS
KO/Punt inside the 20 (Team)
Any Touchdown (Team)

We also give out hammer stickers for big hits. The most important thing, NO STICKERS if you lose!!!

We don't believe in helmet stickers or the name on the back of the jersey either. We do have goal boards in the locker room and keep stats and tackle points and post it every week but when we hit the field we are a team. We have never done the sticker thing. I just look at a team like SC and they don't have anything on their helmets. It is just personal choice as a coach. Our uniforms don't allow for individually, we all look the same on the field.

You can be a team player and still wear stickers for outstanding performance. In this day and age, a kid needs all the motivation he can get. If a 25 cent sticker gets them to perform then so be it. We do the stickers but if we lose, no one gets one. That's probably the biggest motivation stickers will do for your team. Why reward kids for losses?

We like the helmet stickers as motivation. We give them out after a win depending on the game. An exception was a 2 win ball club that played the 2 time state champs really tough. The had us 7 to zip going into the 4th. we felt some stickers were deserved after we played so hard against an infinately better team. One thing that we started doing is giving everyone the same type of decal design. Ours is a gold footprint (think UNC Tarheels). We added a white footprint for academic progress as well. We got the idea from Georgia. The give white dog bone stickers for on field performance and black ones for academic performance. just a thought

What kinds of things can players do to earn an academic sticker? Dave Hartman CYFL Coach

Coach, here are some of the things we use as criteria for our academic awards:
Maintaining a 3.0 GPA: We do progress reports every 3 weeks and report cards every 9 weeks
Doing an exceptional job on a test/project that week
Anytime a teacher has something to say that is above and beyond about the player (I've had teachers tell me about a kid who just did a great job helping classmates prepare for a group project) I felt that warranted some recognition.

We have been a little more subjective with these awards than with our on field awards. we might have a kid who just isn't as good at math but he busts out with a rare "A" on a test that week. We will recognize his effort to motivate him. Now let me say this: If a kid is sent to the Alternative Room for any reason during the week he becomes ineligible for any decals.
