Our team won our first regional championship last year. We put together a team dinner that evening in order to celebrate (as opposed to waiting until our end-of-season dinner), and we specifically had a chance to highlight what got us there, and how the team had evolved since its founding. Personally, I think that sort of celebration is worth more than any net cutting.

At work, we have a system of performance reviews. It gives us, as individuals, a chance to recognize what we do well, and what we need to improve upon. Even if you are the best at what you do, you always have room to improve (if you don't, your employer doesn't have room to give you raises).

Even if you aren't out cutting the net, make sure you take the time, as a team, to recognize what went well this season, and what you want to make sure continues on through next season!
