My friends and I have a team, there are some of us who rarely get to play, and some of us that play frequently. Is there a percentage or threshold of games that an individual player needs to participate in to earn end of season rewards?

On September 12th, 2012, Riot announced the revised criteria to receive Season 2 rewards, which were handed out on November 6th, 2012.
In order to receive rewards for a ranked team, you must have met one of these two conditions:
- You joined the team before September 12th, 2012, or
- You win 5 games with the team. This must be done in each queue. That is, to get 3v3 rewards, you need to win five 3v3 games -- 5v5 games don't count.
It's noteworthy that there have only been 2 seasons, and that the criteria for rewards has changed between them. Note also that condition #1 seems to only be because the revision was announced within that month.
This information should thus be considered volatile, and you'll have to wait for the Season 3 rewards announcement to be sure of anything.
Riot posted the following in the Season 3 Rewards FAQ
For ranked 5v5 or 3v3 team queues, you’ll earn the rewards based on your team’s highest tier, but keep in mind that you have to have played at least five games with the team and participated in 30% or more of the team’s total games to qualify for rewards.

It's about a week later, and it seems they've changed it from 30% participation to 10 won games.– Bob2ChivCommented Sep 25, 2013 at 12:38
