Why Basketball Leagues and Tournaments Trust Us
AAU tournament brackets mean larger medal orders -- a 16-team event across two age divisions can require 300+ medals in a single run. We produce all of them on heavyweight die-cast zinc with basketball texture, hoop and backboard imagery, and court outlines in deep 3D relief. Dual-plated finishes (gold rim with silver center) are popular for visually distinguishing first, second, and third place without needing three separate dies. Our 50-piece minimum keeps single-bracket rec league orders feasible, while volume pricing scales for multi-division championship events.
Pro Tip: Use dual-plated finishes (gold rim with silver center) to visually distinguish first, second, and third place without needing three separate dies.
Custom Basketball Medals from CYO to AAU Nationals
Basketball tournament directors typically need medals for 8-16 teams across multiple age divisions. Our 50-piece minimum makes even single-bracket orders feasible.
Youth & Rec Leagues
CYO, YMCA, and rec league programs typically order 2" die-struck medals in quantities of 100-250. Basketball and hoop imagery reproduces crisply at this size. Standard 7/8" grosgrain ribbons in league colors keep per-piece cost low for large participation orders.
AAU & Travel Tournaments
AAU tournament directors ordering for 12-16 team brackets need 200-400 medals per event. Our 3" medals handle detailed tournament logos and bracket-specific text. Dual-plated finishes (gold rim, silver center) distinguish placement without separate dies.
Championship & All-Star Events
State and national championship events call for 3.5" dual-plated medals with glitter enamel or custom translucent fills. These oversized pieces are built for the post-game photo and trophy case display.
MVP & Individual Awards
Custom-shaped medals for tournament MVP, All-Star selections, and slam dunk contest winners. Player silhouette designs work well in spin-cast production. Reverse engraving fits player names, jersey numbers, or season stats.

Youth rec leagues typically choose 2" medals for participation. AAU and travel tournaments prefer 2.5"-3" for bracket winners. Championship events and MVP awards often use 3"-3.5" for maximum visual impact. We can combine sizes in one order.
Yes, dual plating is popular for basketball medals. A common approach is gold with a polished rim for first, silver with a satin center for second, and antique bronze for third -- all from the same die, which keeps costs lower.
Most AAU tournaments order one design per event with the tournament logo, then use plating finishes to separate placements. A 16-team bracket across two age divisions typically needs 250-400 medals. Our volume pricing makes bulk orders cost-effective.
Yes. We produce custom shapes including basketball outlines, backboard silhouettes, and star-shaped medals for special awards. Spin-cast production handles detailed player silhouettes. Reverse engraving adds names and stats at no extra cost.
