PRESEASON GAME MVP

One game. One name. One MVP.

The PreSeason Game MVP Program is built to recognize the player who left it all on the field. We partner with schools and (when approved) organizations like MSHAA to “scout” each game and crown a PreSeason Game MVP – giving them recognition, rewards, and a story that follows them long after the final whistle.

How the MVP Program Works

Simple, fair, and built to shine a light on real performance.

1. We Partner With the School

We work with athletic directors, coaches, or event organizers to get permission to attend games as “PreSeason scouts.” Our role is to observe, highlight, and reward standout performances – not to interrupt the game.

2. We Scout the Game

During the game, we watch for impact plays, leadership, effort, and composure. The MVP isn’t always the highest scorer – it’s the athlete who changed the game.

3. We Choose the PreSeason Game MVP

After the game, we select one athlete as the PreSeason Game MVP. When allowed, we present the award on-site or coordinate with the school to deliver it shortly after.

What the MVP Receives

Recognition now. Opportunity later.

Core MVP Rewards

  • PreSeason MVP Patch A custom-designed patch made to be worn on letterman jackets, bags, or sleeves. Limited to our official MVP athletes.
  • Spotlight Feature The MVP’s story, stats, and photos can be featured on our Under the Spotlight page and social channels, helping people see who they are beyond just a box score.

Possible Extras

  • PreSeason Sleeve (Promo Item) Custom arm sleeves may be used as a free promotional reward for MVPs, depending on school approval and inventory. Sleeves are not limited only to MVP athletes, but MVPs may receive them as part of their recognition.
  • Signed Piece or Custom Item In some cases we may invite MVPs back for a future collaboration or limited item signing, separate from the standard MVP Program.

Scholarship Path (Future)

  • Our long-term goal is to work with partners like MSHAA and schools to provide scholarship-style rewards or financial support tied to achievement.
  • Details and funding for any scholarship or monetary rewards will depend on formal approval and partnership terms. Until then, our focus is on recognition, visibility, and non-cash rewards.

Eligibility & Age Requirements

We work with both high school and college athletes. When an athlete is under 18, we follow whatever rules the school and governing body require.

  • Parental or guardian consent may be required for certain rewards or features.
  • We will always follow school, district, and association rules first.
  • Any NIL-style or financial opportunities are handled carefully to protect eligibility, especially at the high school level.

For Schools & Associations

Our goal is to add value – not friction. We’re here to highlight your athletes, respect your rules, and create a positive experience for everyone involved.
