He dribbles down the left side of the soccer field, weaving around opposing forwards and mid-fielders. She's approaching the goal, opposing players hot on her trail — one swift kick and the crowd goes wild at the sound of the ball hitting the net.

Whether it's soccer, baseball, football, dance, lacrosse, etc — there are plenty of groups that get your child moving and building a team. What sport leagues are your children members of?

Having grown up I still remember the excitement at the after-game snacks most often times a mixture of delicious fruit and a refreshing drink. All that mattered was that it taste good, was refreshing, and easy to carry as you walk back to your car - usually kicking a ball as you went.
