What are some funny volleyball awards for kids?
Some funny volleyball awards for kids are Lucky Bounce Ritual, Bleacher Chaser, Point Celebration Captain, Hair Tie Supplier and Free Ball Caller. The best ones name something the team saw over and over, like a serving routine or the player who called 'Mine!' loud and early. Every one should be something the player is happy to hear called out.
