End-of-Season Banquet Gifts Your Athletes Will Actually Keep
The end-of-season banquet is the coach's last impression on this year's team — and for seniors, the last impression of their entire career in your program. A certificate that goes in the recycling and a plaque that loses its gold paint by February don't match the 40 hours a week those athletes put in. The gift doesn't need to cost $50 to be the one they keep. It needs to have their name on it.
Why coach teams work with us
The three tiers of banquet gifts: something the athlete keeps, something the athlete's parents keep, and something that ends up in a box. The target is tier one: a practical item with the athlete's name, team name, and season year on it. A 20oz engraved tumbler with "Wildcats Baseball 2026" and the player's name hits all three. It travels to college. It sits on the dorm desk next to the laptop. It gets seen by people who don't know the team and ask about it.

Frequently asked questions
Can each tumbler have the individual athlete's name?
Yes — every unit can carry a unique engraving with no per-unit fee premium. Submit a roster spreadsheet with each athlete's name, jersey number if you want it included, and any custom text. You pay per unit at the tier price; the personalization is included.
How far in advance should I order for a banquet date?
Standard production is 5–7 business days from proof approval, plus 2–5 days shipping transit. Place your order at least 10 business days before the banquet. If the season just ended and the banquet is next week, rush production (2–3 business days) is available for a fee.
What's the minimum order quantity?
No hard minimum — you can order a single engraved item. Tier pricing starts at 5 units (2% off on drinkware) and improves from there. Most coaches order for their full roster, which typically lands in the 10–30 unit range — solid tier pricing without requiring a massive order.
Can I order gifts for multiple sports teams in one order?
Yes. A single order can include multiple product types with different artwork files per team. Coordinate with your athletic director if multiple teams are ordering for the same banquet season — a combined department order often qualifies for better tier pricing.
