The typical basketball goal at a home is a mobile goal on a pole with a water-filled plastic base or a hard-mounted goal attached to an object like a tree. Bolting the hoop and backboard directly to the tree can easily damage the tree which may lead to rot and decay.

This past Friday was Senior Night for our high school football team! I don't have a Senior (yet!), but that didn't stop me from volunteering on the committee. If you've been following me along this #sportsmomjourney for some time now, you know I just couldn't help myself. Here's what we did to make the night extra special for them. We began by making each Senior player and manager a big head. Click here for step by step instructions, with photos! We used X-ACTO knives instead of scissors/box cutters as mentioned in the tutorial. Each player also got a Sports Illustrated magazine cover photo! We used a template from a past Senior parent. He apparently used Microsoft Power Point to create them. We then printed and laminated each one. We also spelled out the word SENIORS, followed by the numbers '19 along the fence down by the field using 12oz. orange plastic cups. I found the cups at my local party store. I think we used close to 250 cups! Moral of the story, buy waaay more cups than you think you'll need. You can always return any unopened ones! The big heads and SI posters are usually displayed on the fence as well, however, Mother Nature was not on our side at all. It rained cats and dogs all.day.long. The boys also gave their mothers a flower with a hand written thank you note attached to it. I would have been a sobbing mess. Talk about all the feels!!! Thank you, Seniors. You will be missed! What does your school do to celebrate this special night? Let me know in the comment section below or in the Confessions of a Sports Mama Facebook Group. *** 11/9/19 Here are a few pictures from this year's Senior Night: And even more ideas from the awesome mamas in our Facebook Group!

Bringing the team snack is a thankless job. When it is my turn, I have to resort to my love of fun packaging or I just might die of boredom. My daughter's volleyball team has a lot of away games and after a long day at school, then a car ride to the game, I wanted to create something easy for the girls to eat on the road. A healthy variety of portable individual food. Peanut butter, hummus, veggies, apples and pretzels - and a little something sweet to get them in the spirit... I mean, when your mascot is a bear and your colors are red and yellow, you've got to have a few gummy bears, right? Just let me know if anyone is in the market for the green ones! Go Bears!
