Refresh Sports, a Canadian toy company, has won four industry awards for two of its products. The Mini-Toss Lacrosse toy earned a spot on The Toy Insider's top 20 beach toys list and a Parents' Pick Award, while the Baseball Sticky Paddle Toss & Catch Game took home honors from both Mom’s Choice Awards and Family Choice Awards.
Which Refresh Sports toys won awards?
The Toy Insider named the Mini-Toss Lacrosse toy one of its top 20 beach toys. The Mini-Toss Lacrosse toy also won a Parents' Pick Award, named as one of the Best Products for Elementary Kids in 2025.
Another product from Refresh Sports, the Baseball Sticky Paddle Toss & Catch Game, won two awards. The first was given by Mom’s Choice Awards; the second was awarded by Family Choice Awards.
Both winners are screen-free, active-play toys built for the backyard, the beach, and the driveway — the kind of games that get the whole family tossing, catching, and chasing together.
Who are the awarding organizations?
Family Choice Awards has been recognizing the best products for all members of the family for 19 years. The Toy Insider has provided insight into the best toys on the market since 2006. Mom’s Choice Awards has been awarding products its seal of approval since 2004. The team at Parents’ Picks Awards have over 45 years of combined experience, and approves products based on over 50 criteria.
What does this mean for parents?
For parents, these awards are a shortcut to a question every family asks: is this toy actually worth it? Four independent organizations — each with its own testing criteria — looked at these two games and said yes. That’s the kind of recommendation you usually only get from another parent at the park.
A message from the Refresh Sports team
“At Refresh Sports, we believe that fun, exciting, durable toys should be an integral part of a child’s play, learning, and development. Children should have access to screen-free toys, and parents are always looking for products that encourage their children’s imaginations, connect them to their friends and family, and give them a love of physical activity and the outdoors. Our toys do all of the above, and to be recognized by a number of the top players in the industry for our unique products is truly invigorating. We hope that these awards help our products gain more recognition among parents and other family members looking to give their kids screen-free playtime.”
