The only time my kids got "trophies for everyone" was pee-wee soccer teams. By seven years old and playing club level that was gone. Only the division winners and tournament winners get trophies. One of my kids went three years of soccer with nothing. This was also the same when my kids played rec basketball. Even in a rec league, only the division winners got rewards. So I don't think the whole participation trophy trope is all that prevalent. I'm in middle America suburbia, btw, maybe it's different elsewhere.
