What are some funny softball awards for kids?
Some funny softball awards for kids are Chant Composer, Slap Queen, Windmill Wizard, Eye Black Artist and Circle Visit Comedian. Softball dugouts give you a lot to work with, from cheers to pregame routines to the catcher who visits the circle a little too often. Pick awards that point at something the player loved doing this season.
