SI Kids is THE magazine for boys and girls who love sports. It presents sports the way kids want to read about them: with great action photos, easy-to-read stories about star athletes, helpful instructional tips from the pros, and humor, comics, and activities. SI Kids is a great way to encourage kids to read, and it has won highest honors from the Association of Educational Publishers and the Parents’ Choice Award.
For the first time ever, Sports Illustrated Kids is naming a ?SportsParent of the Year? and would like to invite you to enter or nominate an inspirational SportsParent! Modeled after the famed Sportsman and SportsKid of the Year awards, the SportsParent of the Year title will honor a parent who embodies the essence of sportsmanship. A true SportsParent is dedicated to using sports to support family and community, not scores and trophies. The SportsParent will exemplify qualities that SI Kids aims to impart to children through a shared passion for sports, including fun, dedication, healthy living, and the value of community and team.
The ?2012 SportsParent of the Year? Grand Prize Winner will receive a $1,000 gift card to support his/her child’s or community team’s sports needs! The winner may also be featured in an upcoming issue of Sports Illustrated Kids magazine and/or on SIKids.com.
As a mom with 3 children who participate in a variety of sports, I know what it is like to be a SportsParent. Our family is constantly on the go, all year long to cheer each other on. When it comes to sports, we like to teach our kids that winning is not important and we emphasize that it is all about having fun!
If you would like to nominate someone in your life for the SportsParent of the Year, you can find the nomination form HERE. You have until September 24th to submit your nomination.
Be sure to nominate your favorite SportsParent before it is too late!
