In addition, we have an end of season (or year) party at which I give out 2 other trophies. One is for the MVP - the player who has been the team's most consistently outstanding performer. The other I call the "Coach's Award". It doesn't usually go to the MVP although it can. It goes to the player who I think has consistently tried their best in each category in which I assess players (e.g. impact on the field, practice, effort, attendance, punctuality, sportsmanship, attitude, behavior, listening to the coach, leadership, evidence of homework, etc.)

Once scores & standings are kept, I want my players to try to win whatever trophies are dished out by the leagues and tournaments. However, trying to win is done within our framework of development - we don't try to win trophies at all costs.

Do the kids or the parents receive the punctuality award?
