Sports stories worth sharing.
Our Every Kid Sports ‘life stories’ bring our mission to life through shared experiences of kids finally getting to play sports.
life lessons:
challenging yourself

“We knew right then our hands were going to be full with this one.”

life lessons: challenging yourself
Eli, age 7
“Eli has always been my little energizer bunny since the moment he began walking at 7 months old. We knew right then our hands were going to be full with this one. We learned how much he loved being outdoors and playing with any ball he could pick up with his tiny hands and became a very fast learner. I knew I couldn’t wait until he was of age to put him in his first sport.
At 4 years old, he started playing flag football and since then has evolved tremendously with his athleticism, sportsmanship and always willing to challenge himself by trying out other sports, such as Pee Wee football, basketball and now rookie baseball. He truly has the heart for playing on the court and on the field. Eli was personally invited to play in his first tournament for the 2025 Seahawks NFL FLAG Regional Tournament on May 17th!
We are so very excited and we can’t wait to cheer his team on and watch him be great doing what he loves to do. Thank you so much for this opportunity allowing me to share with you about my son and his love for the game.”

life lessons:
self esteem

life lessons: self esteem
Zahar, age 10
“Football has had such a positive impact on my seven-year-old son since our move to a new state. It’s helped him build confidence, make new friends, and feel a strong sense of community. The sport has given him a positive outlet for his energy and emotions, and we’ve seen such growth in both his self-esteem and his joy.”
