Plus

Minus

Interesting

Improvements

started & finished on time

90% of players turned up

lots of food - good variety

everyone got a certificate

coaches/managers got to share

lots of kitchen helpers

music during meal time

same day as cross country

forgot to buy plastic cutlery

few coaches still gave special gifts on stage (meant to save it until afterwards)

printing & laminating about 170 certificates - time consuming

need paper bowls as well for food like chop suey, chow mein?

drink table not in the right place

1 parent/older sibling booked themselves to coach/manage next year

have a list of what food each team should bring for variety?

combine prizegiving with other competition teams? rugby? cricket? tag? basketball?

saving special gifts/trophies until the girls get off the stage or after prizegiving like the y3's

print certificates on card, so not laminating 170-180 certificates

have results to share per team

acknowledge representatives

photos/slide show/movie to share

practise where everyone stands on the stage & who to give thank you card/gifts

seating plan, put 1 year 8 team on each side to help younger ones to focus

acknowledge y8 girls who have played at least 5 years at the school? (lolly necklace)?

3 special awards - 'step down' to receive certificate

girls to have a unique team chant/cheer to use throughout the season

have a template speech of what to cover e.g highlights, results, reps, dates, sponsors etc
