My best DO or DON’T sporting tip for kids is to let them ask you to be part of a sport and when they want to do a sport, to support them in it. If you can’t afford the sport they want, tell them so.

Best sporting tip is to be safe! Always wear some sort of protection, for football and biking and skateboarding: wear a helmet! Kids heads are hard but still. 😀

Our children do not play sports, but they have to wear helmets when they ride bikes.

My biggest do is drink plenty of water. I’ve seen what happens when they don’t drink enough during summer sports.
Do try your best for yourself and your team. Don’t take a win or a loss too seriously because they both will happen.
My “do” tip is not to put them in a big competitive setting and just let them have fun!
My Do’s include enjoy yourself but wear protective gear (helmet, gloves, elbow & knee pads) when doing something like biking, skateboarding, etc. And a big one is carry water & snacks with you, keep those kids hydrated & make sure they eat something to keep their energy levels up.
I don’t really have any tips yet because my kids aren’t old enough for sports, but I am enjoying reading other people’s tips to keep in mind for later.
