Ashley sent me a note this morning to let me know about the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153What Do You Play For?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d campaign and asked that I pass it along to you – and I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m happy to do so!<\/p>\n

I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve done many sports with my kids, (10 years of Little League, and Boys n Girls Club Basketball) and though the two older ones are \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcover it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 the youngest is an avid swimmer and I still find myself with a regular case of bleacher butt as I watch her compete in meets with our local team. While it sometimes is difficult to find the right sport for your child (My youngest never did well when having to split the coaches attention with a whole team. That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s why she\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a swimmer – her biggest competition is herself!) I do think it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s important to get them into something while they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re young and let them dabble and try out anything they are interested in. It gives a great basis to learn teamwork, to learn to relate to an adult in a coaching position, and how to win and lose with a good attitude.<\/p>\n

Brickfish and YouthNoise agree. They\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve teamed up for the campaign which advocates the use of sports to energize individuals, revitalize communities and promote change in the world. For their campaign, they are asking the entrants to submit photos that clearly demonstrate how they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re using sports to make impacts and hat causes and purposes they play for. The grandprize winner – selected by YouthNoise from the top 250 scoring entries, will win $500 cash or scholarship.<\/p>\n
