Mom’s Guide: Sideline Essentials

Brought to you by SportFresh

Will you be cheering on your child from the sidelines at their next sports game? We’ve got you covered. It’s prime time for fall sports and making sure that you’re prepared with everything you need to cheer them on will let you focus on what really matters. Check out our list of sideline essentials below.

Blankets

As the weather gets chilly, you’ll definitely want to invest in a warm, comfy blanket if you’re attending outside sports games. Using the blankets as a bleacher seat is also a great way to ensure you’re relaxed and comfortable throughout the game.

Umbrellas

Not only is fall weather chilly, but it’s also unpredictable. Make sure you always pack an umbrella or two for the family so that the weather doesn’t interrupt the special day.

Extra Cash

It’s important to be prepared for all kinds of possibilities at your child’s game. Whether you’re looking to purchase a souvenir or a few snacks from the concession stand, you’ll want to pack extra cash beforehand.

Towels 

Fall sports are notoriously messy. Whether is mud, rain, or grass, you’ll want to be ready to clean it all. Pack an extra towel to help clean up your child during halftime and before you bring them home.

SportFresh

After the day is over, you’ll want to make sure that your child’s equipment is squeaky clean for the next game. Pick up a can of SportFresh to disinfect and prevent bacterial odors from forming on your child’s gear.

First Aid Kit

With any sport, it’s likely for battle scars to happen along the way. Keep a small first aid kit on hand during the game so you can easily help out if your child gets endures any cuts or scrapes.

Insect Repellent 

If your child’s game is outdoors, there is a good chance of encountering mosquitoes and other pests. Stock up on insect repellent so you can focus on the big game instead of swatting bugs away.

Sunglasses

Although fall can be full of unpredictable weather, sometimes you can get lucky. On the off chance that you do experience a sunny game day, you’ll want to bring a pair of shades so that you can watch your child play without any obstacles.
