Get Your Kids Excited About Sports with the Sports Box - #Discount Code

My daughter is very active in sports. She plays basketball in the winter, and soccer in the spring and fall.  I've always encouraged my children to live an active lifestyle, and love to see them on the field. Though she loves to play, she is still little, and sometimes she needs a little encouragement to stick with it, especially at times like this when the weather is still a little chilly for outdoor sports. The Sports Box was just what she needed to give her a little extra incentive.

The Sports Box is a fun subscription service that sends kids an exciting selection of products geared to their favorite sport. You can choose between soccer, basketball, baseball, softball, football and hockey. Each box includes training aids, gear, and other fun products specially suited to your chosen sport. Every box also includes some great tips to help kids improve their game. Check out our unboxing video to see how much my daughter loved the Corner Kick Box 34.

As you can see, this month was filled with some really amazing items. Here is a little breakdown of everything she received.

Evasion Belt - This will help kids improve their agility and speed. The adjustable straps allow you to connect two players by the waist while they are drilling. 

Glow Max- Kids can practice even in the dark with this cute glowing soccer ball. It's a miniature size and very light weight, so it won't cause any damage inside, but still gives kids a chance to work on their kicks.

Hackey Sack -This brings back memories of my own childhood. When I was a kid, all the boys used to play with hackey sacks on the boardwalk. You can bounce and balance them on any part of your body. They are a great way for kids to practice their coordination without fear of injury.

Junk Headband- These cloth headbands are great. They hold the hair out of her eyes, their super comfortable, and they are easy to wash when they get sweaty. This one is a nice, neutral color that she can wear with any of  her uniforms.

Quench Gum - Last but not least, this delicious raspberry flavored gum can help quench your thirst when you can't get to your water bottle.

My daughter just loved this box. It made her feel special to get a package in the mail, and the items inside have helped her to improve her soccer skills. She's already asking to try out the basketball box next season. With so many options to choose from, you are sure to find a box that is perfect for your little sports fan.  Subscriptions start at only $26.99 a month, and the value of the items you receive far exceeds that value. Show your sports enthusiasts how much you support their talent. Gab them a Sports Box today!

Most-Wanted Holiday Toys: L.O.L Surprise!, Little Tikes Light ‘n Go 3-in-1 Sports Zone

Little Tikes Light ‘n Go 3-in-1 Sports Zone lets preschoolers dunk, kick and score with baby’s three favorite sports: basketball, soccer and bowling. Toddlers will enjoy playing basketball with an adjustable height hoop; soccer to build gross motor skills; and bowling to teach them shapes, colors and cause and effect (Age: 12-36 months; MSRP $54.99).

My Thoughts

I can see why this is one of the hot toys on Toys R Us's wish list for this year. It is adorable. My son instantly bonded with this thing. It was super easy to put together. I barely need to reference the directions. I did for safety reasons, but it was super simple. It requires I believe I am remembering correctly, three AA batteries, and a screwdriver to get them in there. Other than that, no tools. It comes with three balls, a basketball, soccer ball, and a bowling ball. Those are the three sports you can play. At first he just laid on his side and kicked at the pins (he is on the younger side of the suggested age). He had a blast. Once he figure out throwing balls at it was fun to, it was over. He actually made a basket too. I was so proud! 

It folds up nice and thin too for storing it in the game room. It has a lot of different things you can do with it too. There is fun buttons to push to make music. It will count with, teach you your colors, teach you your numbers and shapes. It also has a mode where it encourages movement. It is adjustable for height as well. It has over 75 sounds and phrases. This toy is a hot one this year for Christmas, and we can see why. It is really well designed and versatile. We are going to get a lot of enjoyment out of this one. I am excited to see it grow with my son. He is right at the start of the suggested age so he will get a lot of use out of it.

All droughts end with rain. And when the Chicago Cubs ended their 108-year World Series drought with an improbable three game run - including a dramatic Game 7 rain delay - to capture the championship, generations of Cubs fans washed away decades of disappointment, curses and superstitions. Fly the W! The Cubs are 2016 World Series champions!  And, this December, fans can bring home this year's Fall Classic with two spectacular home entertainment collectibles commemorating the team's unforgettable postseason: "THE 2016 WORLD SERIES" the official film, available on DVD (with digital copy) and two-disc Blu-ray+ DVD combo pack (with digital copy) on December 6, 2016,and "2016 WORLD SERIES COLLECTOR'S EDITION: CHICAGO CUBS", 8-disc collection on Blu-ray and DVD on December 13, 2016, from Shout!

The 2016 World Series was the end of an arduous road. As the Cubs wielded dominating pitching, spectacular defense, and clutch offense to end their championship drought in dramatic fashion, generations of fans celebrated cherished memories newly washed by a championship. And it was, perhaps, even the beginning of a new kind of journey for the Cubs and their fans, as Owner Tom Ricketts and President of Baseball Operations Theo Epstein collaborated to shape a staff and team that could pull off the most epic of championships.  With a powerful combination of talent and grit, Manager Joe Maddon's cast of Kris Bryant, Anthony Rizzo, Javier Baez, Jake Arrieta, Dexter Fowler, Jon Lester, David Ross and World Series MVP Ben Zobrist, the Cubs outplayed the Giants and Dodgers to set up a historically dramatic World Series against the Cleveland Indians.

Part of a tradition that dates back to 1943 when the U.S. State Department commissioned Major League Baseball to create a highlight reel of the World Series for troops overseas, the official World Series film is the crowning achievement each year from Major League Baseball.  With numerous camera crews capturing every exhilarating pitch, every historic home run and mesmerizing moment from every postseason game, the "THE 2016 WORLD SERIES" film delivers the Cubs' thrilling series run in an expertly crafted documentary, edited from hundreds of hours of footage. Featuring comprehensive highlights, exclusive access and interviews, and breathtaking, hi-def footage that delivers home audiences directly to the ballparks, this extraordinary souvenir, narrated by actor and longtime Cubs fan Vince Vaughn, captures the team's thrilling series in epic fashion.

4 tips for perfecting your players’ soccer kick

The soccer kick is not only an essential soccer skill, but also a show of power, focus, and style. Because it’s one of the trickiest moves for young players, we compiled a few tricks to help them master it. Besides the formal steps for kicking correctly, these tips add an extra oomph of focus and power to keep striking power high and toe kicks at bay.

Relax

“Shaking it out” isn’t just for calming nerves—it’s a great way to stay relaxed when kicking. With the exception of the ankle, encourage your players to keep their body loose. Staying relaxed makes them more likely to maintain good posture and mobility in order to aim accurately. Players will have an easier time following through and reacting to an opponent’s defense.

Break the pane

Want to train your players to kick with more power, follow through, and play with confidence? Try the break the pane method. Ask your players to imagine a pane of glass in front of the soccer ball. In order to break this glass, the player needs to use the force of their foot and the rest of their body. “Your forward momentum should continue through the shot,” says Active.com. This process helps the player direct his or her power; visualizing the glass pane can be much more effective than just explaining how to follow through.  

Try SOCKIT

Wish there was something that gave players immediate feedback on their kicking technique? Use a SOCKIT! It’s a band that fits around the soccer cleats and lights up when the kicker hits the ball with the correct spot on his or her foot. Younger players love the light-up feature, and it helps reinforce what coaches tell players on the sidelines. Invented by a father looking to help his two daughters kick better, it’s something made for soccer players, by soccer players.

Visualize

Now that you know about the break the pane method, try incorporating visualization in other ways. Ask your players to sit for a moment and visualize what it’s like to kick a soccer ball. Have them consider what they could improve about their kicking. Then ask them to picture themselves perfecting that kick and how it would look in practice, games, against an opponent, etc. “When I'm preparing for a swim, I imagine absolutely everything about it: the color of the water, how cold it is, the taste of salt in my mouth,” says swimmer Lewis Gordon Pugh. “I visualize each and every stroke.” Simply visualizing a successful kick can work wonders when it comes to making real contact with the ball.

OUT with the toe kick and IN with the follow through! Try out these suggestions to help your players perfect the art of kicking.
