Playing Time – Every Parent’s Nemesis…


Let’s face it.  We all want it, and when we get it, we want more of it.  I’m not talking about a twisty cone with sprinkles here, I’m talking about playing time for our athletes.  Nothing will make a parent nuttier at a simple third grade soccer game than when his child does not get enough playing time.   It doesn’t matter if your child is playing third grade soccer or D1 football under a full scholarship.  If you aren’t getting what you want, your life is misery.

Welcome to Football4Moms!

Why “Football4Moms”?

Several years ago when two of my three sons were playing grade school football, I decided to write a book to explain the game to mothers. Most moms know something about a lot of sports, and many moms have played a sport or two, but football has remained a male dominated sport, and thus, when our little 5th graders decide they want to play, we are left a bit in the dark. I felt this way to some extent, but over the years, with a great deal of patience from my sons and my husband, I really learned a lot about the game. So I wrote “Football for Moms” (check out My Book!)
