Team Mama Idea: Donuts for Shutouts!

What feels even better than winning? How about shutting a team out AKA skunking them AKA not letting them score AKA giving them a DONUT! It's totally a big deal. So when our boys do just that, we reward them with donuts! And let me tell you, it definitely makes them play harder. I mean, what kid doesn't like donuts?


It doesn't all have to fall on the you or the coach, especially if you're doing it often. You can (and should!) ask for volunteers. We bring donuts to the first practice following the big game. To make it easier, I try and get the same type (either all sprinkles, all glazed, etc.)- that way "Little Bobby" isn't comparing his donut to "Little Tommy's".  Ain't nobody got time for that!

Don't forget extras for the coaches and little siblings! After all, they're a part of the team as well, right?
