You get a shirt for participating. You get an award for doing something better than everyone else.
My daughter has been on winning soccer teams and winning softball teams. But it was in a small community so they all got a pat on the back and their picture in the paper. My son was part of an experimental 2nd grade football team. Those little guys never won a game. But I'll be damned if they didn't line up against 4th and 5th graders and lay more than a few of them out.
They were so proud they partied over pizza and soft drinks like frat boys.
