Bag it!

One of the most maddeing things about having kids in soccer is just keeping up with all the stuff they need to bring to the practices and games. There are cleats, socks, shorts, shin guards, jerseys, and water bottles. Miss any of those things and it could ruin your Saturday. One of the best things I've done is to get my boys a designated soccer bag. You don't have to spend a fortune on one of those fancy soccer bags. We just use one of the many draw string bags that are collecting dust in the closet. You could also use an old book bag. At the end of every practice or game, we clean everything and refill the bag with fresh clothes and socks. You can even put in a water bottle and a wrapped snack if you like. When your in a rush out the door on soccer days, just get the one bag and you're ready. Give it a try.
