Moms have always been a major part of a child's baseball experience. For all of their lives, moms have always been there to help them play baseball. Moms are the ones who pick the kids up and take them to the field, put band-aids on their knees, and console them when they fail. This is a story of a kid growing up in Teaneck, New Jersey in the 1950's and a mom who instilled in him a life-long love of baseball and the New York Yankees.

There are several ways for track and field athletes to get the
most out of those few precious months of the off-season before heading indoors
for the winter and getting ready for outdoor track in the spring.

The kind of football cleats that best suits your child depends on the position he plays, the surface on which he plays (grass or artificial turf), the amount of support and protection he wants against ankle injuries, how long he is planning to use the shoes and how much you want to spend.

While injuries - even of the catastrophic variety - cannot be completely eliminated from football, there are lots of things pro-active parents can do to minimize the risk. 

Basketball is a fast paced game that requires endurance, speed, strength and hand-eye coordination. It is one of the most popular sports world-wide, with over one million boys and girls playing high school varsity basketball, according to the National Federation of State High School Associations. For parents new to the game, here's what you need to know.

Children can start learning the very basics of basketball from kindergarten to third grade. However, 5-6 year olds still are not ready to play on a team. During this time period parents and teachers can teach them to throw, bounce, and catch the ball. Parents can buy a kiddie hoop so that they can practice throwing the ball into the net; at this age, they are too small to actually dribble the ball and have more fun throwing it anyway.

Elite volleyball players typically possess many of the same attributes.

Volleyball can be played by children of all ages and is typically played for the first time recreationally, in the back yard, on the beach with an inflatable ball, or in gym class.
