A Teamwork team celebrating together under the tent

Teammate of the week

Every week, coaches pick the players who were the best teammates. By the end of the season, every kid gets their moment.

How it works

It happens every week, at every game, in every sport.

Step 1
Coaches watch
Every game, coaches look for kids who act like great teammates, not just the top scorers.
Step 2

Winners get a Teammate of the Week certificate and a Teamwork water bottle.

Their big moment

Kids light up when they hear their name. They walk over to the Teammate of the Week sign, hold up their certificate and new water bottle, and get their picture taken.

Every photo goes up on our Facebook and Instagram, so family and friends can cheer them on too.

What coaches look for

It's not about scoring the most. It's about playing sports the right way.

Respect

For teammates, opponents, coaches and refs.

Sportsmanship

Win or lose, they play the right way.

Helping others

Picking up a teammate, on the field or off it.

Listening

Tuned in to coaches and ready to learn.

Fairness

Taking turns and playing by the rules.

Sharing

Passing the ball and sharing the spotlight.

Staying positive

Good attitude, even on a tough day.

Why we do it

Life skills, not just sports skills.

Being a good teammate carries into school, friendships and everything else. We want kids to learn that early, and feel proud of it.
