Kids Sports Network


Growing up from a broken home I know that it’s very hard as a kid looking for direction to take in life. Most think that kids don’t have any worries because all they’re concerned with is playing video games or playing with their friends. My parents went through a rocky divorce around the time I was five years old and if I didn’t have sports to help me vent my frustration and provide a sort of mentorship for me, I may have had a different path in life. I’m looking at starting a non-profit organization for kids from broken homes that utilizes sports to help them cope with the stress that they’re under and other problems in life. The premise of the organization is to not only use sports as an outlet for pent up emotions, but to provide mentorship and direction for those children that may have none. I would like to help kids from the ages of 4-13 because these are great years to build this foundation for children to handle the problems they will face going through adolescence. I will go on to talk about an organization that works along the same lines to improve the quality of sports not associated with schools for children.


Kids Sports Network is a non-profit organization to raise the quality of sports and safety for children. Their mission statement is to promote the quality of non-school sports for kids and young adults from the ages of three to nineteen years old through the education of coaches, parents, and administrators. They also educate through special events and activities, raise public awareness, and provide an opportunity for networking between youth sports organizations and agencies. The reason why this is important is because these coaches play a huge role in the children’s lives, not just teaching them how to play a game and concentrating on the physical aspect. They also need to be aware on how to provide consultation on emotional and psychological aspect, as well. This education for volunteer coaches will ensure a better experience for your kids and help them build a solid foundation for the future.
