Have you ever arrived at your kids sports only to find you forgot something. We are all quilty! It is through trial and error that I have developed my kids sports pack. All you need to get started is a big travel bag and a few minutes of preparation. Do not hesitate…do it now! A prepared parent is a happy parent.
Here are 5 quick tips to keep you organized! All you need to start is a BIG travel bag.
1. SPORTS EQUIPMENT- every sport requires some sort of equipment- Do you have it? Soccer players need shin guards, socks, jersey and a ball. Baseball players need their bats and gloves. Make sure your travel bag has the equipment your child needs.
2. WATERPROOF BLANKET OR CHAIRS- How many times have you arrived at your kids sport to find there is no seating? Be prepared for anything by keeping folding chairs in your car. For families you like to save space, a waterproof blanket will keep you from sitting on the ground.
3. FOOD- It never fails that the kids are hungry the minute you pull out of the driveway. Include some quick snacks in your kids sports pack such as granola bars, fruit snacks or raisins and save youself time and money at the consession stand. A few bottles of water is a good idea for your thirsty athlete too!
4. FIRST AID KIT- Be prepared for the unexpected! When ever there is running and jumping their is going to be an accident. I include band aids, hand sanitizer, first aid ointment, sunscreen and an instant ice pack in my kids sport bag.
5. WARM CLOTHES- Spring is a funny season. One day its 70 and the next its 40. Be prepared for anything! Always carry an extra jacket or sweatshirt for your athlete. They may be warm when their running but when they are sitting they might want your jacket!
Store your kids sport pack in your trunk so your ready to go. Nothing to remember equals nothing to forget!
