End-of-Season Awards Banquet
Every year the team comes together to recognize both the Varsity and Junior Varsity teams with a parent/player brunch, slideshow, and awards ceremony. This event occurs in November or early December. A senior parent serves as the coordinator with other senior parent volunteers. This role includes booking the event with a local country club or similar venue, meal selection, fee collection, table decorations, senior gifts, coaches gifts, and slideshow presentation.

The Pink Game
Every October the team plays a PINK game to raise breast cancer awareness and to help former Coach Doto raise funds for the 3-Day Walk. Her personal goal is to walk in each of the 50 states. The team not only wears PINK for the league game this day, but also holds a bake sale on the sidelines after school. The PINK Game event manager organizes the bake sales, coordinates with the PHS Club “Wink4Pink” group, and organizes parent bakers and volunteers.

Senior Recognition Game and Dinner
All senior players are recognized for their commitment to the team via a pre-game ceremony and special post-game dinner at an October home game. Historically, the Junior parents and players take on this event for the seniors. The Senior Recognition Coordinator works with parent volunteers to orchestrate the ceremony and dinner. In addition, one or two sophomore parents “shadow” the process in order to spearhead the event the following year.
