Gear Up Your Young Athlete for Basketball Season: Top Picks for Kid-Certified Cool from Turning2Sports
Basketball season is underway which means high tops are running courts, free throws are winning games, and the sound of swishing hoops can be heard in gymnasiums in elementary and middle schools across the country.
Top sports equipment dubbed cool by kids
Today’s kid athletes need protective, supportive, and helpful athletic equipment, but they also want that drip. (I have officially embarrassed my kids by using “drip.” For other parents out there, let me translate. Drip means cool, dope, stylish. And, pretty sure now that a parent has used the word, it’s no longer drip!)
New school year… new sportswear?
With every new school year comes the need to rummage through rooms, rooting out things that are no longer fit and making lists of desired replacements. My kids don’t mind. They get to see how much they’ve grown, and they get excited about a new school year with a new spiffy first day outfit.
New to sports?
I am so thankful for my partner. He is a sports fanatic. He will watch any sport - on tv, live, rerun - it doesn’t matter, and he seems to automatically know all the rules and plays. It doesn’t matter if it’s curling, badminton, or football - he’s a certified expert.
Some quick tips learned over the years
I am so lucky to have a partner who helps chauffeur our athletes to and from practice three times a week, and who also remembers to put every practice and game in the family calendar.
