Gift Exchange
Be prepared with a small gift to exchange with each member of the opposing team. (approx. 18 gifts). As is
tradition at many National sporting events, there will be a gift exchange at the conclusion of each team’s first
pool play game. Please
Please remember the Gift Exchange is a fun, memorable part of the tournament. Gift items should be
inexpensive, but thoughtful. The gift should be a team decision, based on items the girls themselves would like
to receive. It is a fun idea to have them put together gift bags or boxes as a team which creates some fun team
bonding experiences. Some samples of past gifts we have seen:
Gift Ideas
Something representing the tournament, your team or your team’s
home area.
Team Pins/Magnets/Stickers/Key
Chain
Gift Bag with useful items such as
chap stick, hair ties, sunblock, eyeblack, etc.
Personally decorated softball ornaments.
Team craft projects of necklaces or
headbands or hair bow in team colors.
Healthy and yummy snacks.
