New Year, New Sports Adventures
New year celebrations pave the way for new adventures, experiences, and hopefully trying new sports! The start of the new year brings a new season of basketball, soccer, lacrosse, and spring softball & baseball.
Agreeing to let your kid try a new sport can be daunting. When my kids have asked to try a new sport my mind immediately goes to costs - to join the team, to get my kiddo in the appropriate shoes & other needed gear, to outfit them in the right practice and game uniforms, and more! It costs a lot to say yes, but it costs our kids even more when we say no.
Kids gain so much from joining a team. The Aspen Institute Sports & Society Program’s Project Play research report, State of Play 2022, found that children who participate in team sports benefit in a multitude of ways:
Helps kids maintain a healthy body
Helps to prevent chronic disease
Associated with higher levels of self-esteem, motivation, and overall psychological well-being
Associated with improved academic achievement, including grades and standardized test score
Positive affect on academic behavior, including enhanced concentration, attention, and improved classroom behavior
I wanted to help even the playing field and help make sports affordable. Turning2Sports strives to help alleviate the financial burden many families undertake, advancing our vision of equal opportunity to playTM. Our mission is to outfit young athletes so every kid can play.
