I have struggled with this one for 16 years. Our banquet is Thursday night. We're giving about 35 varsity letters. Obviously, their certificates will say "Joe Schmoe has been awarded Varsity Letter." But what to write for those who did NOT win a varsity letter. Junior Varsity? Participation? Squad Member?
I would love to hear ideas from other high school coaches. Thanks.
Not a coach, but I remember that my non-varsity certificates from high school were participation certificates.
Personally I would stay away from JV certificates. I was a "swing" runner (running mostly JV but some Varsity) for 2 years before earning my first varsity letter. I never scored, letters were contingent on scoring. I would have been a little insulted to be given a JV certificate when I had participated in the varsity meets. I don't know what the situation is on your team, but those are my two cents.
35?
