  • Don't most youth sports stop with the participation trophies once the kids are over 8 or so? I have no beef with PB ribbons in swimming because it's nice for a kid to see tangible evidence of actual improvement. This is a summer league thing only of course. I wish they stopped at that age. I guess it depends on the league and sport. Swimming stopped with PB ribbons for summer club here at 7 or 8. YMCA and other recreational leagues seem to continue with participation trophies or medals for every league up to age 13 at least.
