Last night's Rangers - Capitals Game 7 Stanley Cup Playoff action was a classic. We missed it. Why? We were watching our daughter's U17 soccer game. As thrilling as the NHL action was, we know we made the right choice. Those of you who are parents of young athletes know, or at least we hope you know, what we mean. There will always be hockey. But our kids are here and gone before we know it. Get out and enjoy it while you can.
Just watched a heartbreaking U17 girls soccer game! Both teams played their hearts out, but the ending was a shame. For some reason, the refs didn't show up. Calls were made and finally a referee was summoned. But here was the problem: He arrived 40 minutes past the 7 PM scheduled start time and the field's lights were timed to go off exactly at 9 PM. Since the girls play 45 minute halves, that meant that the second half would be truncated. In a back-and-forth game the visiting team scored to take a 3-2 lead midway through the second half. Then, the lights went out. Nothing anyone could do. Game over, even though there were still 15 minutes left. Sad way for it to end, but it was terrific soccer.
Whether your son or daughter is in Little League baseball, softball, or soccer, they need to be ready for all-stars. We've got all of the gear they need to improve, from training nets to baseball sunglasses to soccer products. Click the "shop" link above and get ready for those exciting tournaments coming soon!
It may seem early to be planning for next season, but there's no better time to get ready for fall baseball and softball, especially since Upstart Sports is offering a 10% discount on all JUGS pitching machines through the month of May. Just enter promo code JUGS10 at checkout. JUGS machines are the best baseball pitching machines for high school, college and youth league sports. They're also terrific for setting up a backyard batting cage, which you can find by clicking the link above as well. Imagine, this summer, your son or daughter in the backyard taking as many cuts as they'd like, each swing inching them closer and closer to a starting spot on the high school team or even a college scholarship. It will only happen if they are given the opportunities and tools. We're here to make it happen!
You may have seen this already and know that a kid who was hit by a foul ball in a recent Giants - Angels game was made to feel a lot better by superstar, Mike Trout. In spite of the fact that the youngster is a Giants fan (and Trout plays for the Angels), Mike made the boy's day by handing him a bat. Watch the short video here.
What you might not have know is that MVP Trout also uses Old Hickory bats. The very same Old HIckory that you can get here at Upstart Sports. Class act and elite player. No wonder he chooses Old Hickory. We've been thinking about all of the great things youth sports does for young people who play soccer, baseball, softball, lacrosse, football and other team sports. We're starting a list but would love you to add to it if you have ideas. Some of the benefits we've come up with are:
We read a quote today that made us think about parents with children playing youth sports. The gist of it was that you'll never find time for anything important, you have to make time. We hear from parents everywhere that they don't have the time to get involved in their kids' athletics. No time to coach or volunteer in the league. No time to simply go to the school and play catch or kick the soccer ball around or even watch a game.
Well we say you'd better make the time. Because before you know it your kids will be done with sports, grown and on their own and you don't want to look back and wish you'd been more active in their sports lives. At Upstart Sports we strive to connect the gap for you by providing you a place to find the best equipment for your youngster's needs without having to spend hours researching the globe. We've done that for you, taken out the guesswork and given you access to the greatest products we can find at the best prices. Now go play with your kids. We offer a wide selection of pitching machines by Jugs Sports and the entire month of May, they're ten percent off if you enter the code, JUGS10! Maybe the high school machine is on it's last leg or the coach-pitch machine has seen better days. Perhaps you want to set up a cage in the backyard and are looking for the most durable, tested and popular machine available. Great for youth, high school and college baseball and softball. We know you've been putting off getting that new pitching machine. Well now your wait is over!
