About Us
My Kid Plays
Sports was formed with the purpose of helping athletes,
parents, and coaches who are involved in youth
sports. We realize that many of these individuals
are looking for quality information so that they can make the most
of their athletic experiences. We feel
that youth sports should be a positive and rewarding
experience for all who are involved. Our goal is to assist
those involved by providing:
- Information on quality coaching techniques
- Tips, techniques, and drills
- Examples of sportsmanship, both good and bad
- Interesting news from youth sports
- Uniques opportunities for parents to interact
