Summer Sports
Well, it’s that time a year again, summer sports season. Many of our children are in athletic events such as baseball, soccer, basketball, track, etc. For those of us who have children who are not athletically inclined maybe they are starting a new dance season, gymnastics season, or piano. Whatever the activity, this time of year, we find ourselves spread very thin as we try to get our children from place to place or practice to practice. There are those of us that volunteer to help other parents out by taking other teammates to and from practice and games as well. I’m sure most of you have heard the term ‘soccer mom.’ Stereotypically when you hear the words soccer mom, we imagine a mom supporting her child and their team, driving the minivan full of screaming and laughing children, all while lugging around a plethora of sports equipment. How exhausting this must be, but most soccer moms wouldn’t trade it for the world.We want our kids to enjoy outside activities like sports, so it’s hard for us to say no when they want to sign up for an athletic event. Plus, it gives us something to do in the summer, and it keeps our children healthy and active. It is also an excellent way to bond with their children since we are the ones taking them to and from practice and cheering them on at their games. Athletics give our children something to strive for and to work hard at.
But it can be hard to take your athlete to and from practice and games if you don't have a reliable vehicle. You may require your car to take your child to their practices multiple times a day and out of town games every weekend. What can you do?
