Let’s Talk About….Playing Sports...

Help My Kid Wants to Play Sports

So, your kid wants to play sports -- no problem right? You sign them up at the local Little League field and they play. End of story. Well... that is just the beginning of the story. I went from a reluctant sports mom to an avid participant in taking my kids to countless practices, talking to the other moms, comparing notes on how to wash those white pants and of course sitting at every game. However, there is so much I wish I had known.

This is part one of a two part episode -- the second part is "Help, My Kids Want To Play Sports in College!'
