Char — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 18:27:43 +0000

We love Destira leotards! Not only do they have the latest fun and funky prints, Destira’s gymnastics leotards are so well made. They are my daughter’s favorite and judging by the number of girls in the gym wearing them, I’d say they are pretty popular all around.

Destira has a special Valentine’s sale going on right now. Use the coupon code HEART15 to get 15% off your Destira leotard online purchase. The coupon is not good in stores that carry Destira and it is not good for the mystery leotard deal. Hurry – the coupon expires February 14, 2010.

Team USA – “Only One” T-shirt

Char — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 19:31:08 +0000

For Christmas I asked for a variety of things – a new golf club, Winter Olympics sweatshirt, and this -

The Team USA “Only One” t-shirt. I just love the message – and the fact that you can interpret it in a variety of ways.

Is it that the difference between 1st and 2nd is measured by one step, one meter, one shot or one second?

Or is it that you become a champion one one second, one minute, one revolution, one meter, one millimeter, one shot, one goal, one step at a time?

What do you think?

Check out more Team USA Olympic gear – just in time for the Vancouver Winter Olympic Games.

Cleatskins Help Keep Kids and their Cleats Safe

Char — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 03:02:46 +0000

This past weekend I attended a very cool event (and played great golf, but more about that later) and one of the products I saw that really caught my eye are Cleatskins. What are Cleatskins? They are super cool, easy to use cleat covers for all your busy kids cleats – soccer cleats, softball cleats, football cleats and even Mom’s golf shoes!

The innovative, colorful Cleatskins are easy to put on over your child’s cleats making the trip to and from the field safer, cleaner and more efficient. They are made of a unique rubber compound that keeps you from slipping or falling while protecting your cleats from abrasive surfaces like asphalt and concrete.

Additionally, the Cleatskins keep mud and dirt inside the the cover and out of your car, carpet and off your furniture. They are easy to clean – either rinse off in warm water or toss in the washing machine. That is the ease of use Moms really love!

For $19.95 you can get any of the kid size Cleatskins in about 18 colors/designs. Pick one that shows off your child’s favorite color or coordinate the entire team. It sure beats lugging a second pair of shoes back and forth to the field. Adult sizes are $25.95 and they even have a golf line.

You can save 10% by using the Sportsgirls coupon code created exclusively for SportsGirlsPlay readers! TODAY ONLY (11/27/09) – use TURKEY to get 25% off the entire site!

Cleatskins make a great holiday gift for your favorite athlete or show your team spirit by getting matching Cleatskins for the entire team!

Personalized Zipper Pulls for Sports Bags

Char — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 21:58:19 +0000

Having two girls who both swim, they have grabbed the wrong swim bag on more than one occasion. Usually we try to find something to distinguish their bags from their teammates’ bags. My youngest added a dolphin zipper pull to hers, but I just found these really cute, personalized zipper pulls that you can get for the whole team and they are less than a dollar each. They would actually make a great team fundraiser!

Right now they are available for swimming, diving, soccer and softball, but I am going to put in a request that they add more sports like gymnastics, basketball, volleyball and more.

Go! Go! Sports Girls Dolls

Char — Tue, 10 Feb 2009 20:00:55 +0000

Go! Go! Sports Girls is a new line of dolls by the Dream Big Toy Company which features a collection of plush sports-themed dolls for girls ages 3 -12. Go! Go! Sports Girls are designed to be a fun and educational way to promote self-appreciation and the benefits of daily exercise, healthy eating and sleeping habits, self-esteem and overall healthy life-skills for girls, regardless of race and socioeconomic class.

The initial collection of Go! Go! Sports Girls consists of nine dolls: Gracie (Tennis Girl), Cassie (Soccer Girl), Brooke (Golf Girl), M.C. (Dancer Girl), Taye (Basketball Girl), Maya (Gymnastics Girl), Sam (Softball Girl), Suzi (Swimmer Girl), and Ella (Runner Girl). Approximately 14” in height, the dolls are made from high quality cloth which is safe and durable. They are soft, comfortable and light to carry, easy for a child to take with her to play or sleep.

According to Jodi Norgaard, President of Dream Big Toy Company, Go! Go! Sports Girls were created with a subtle yet strong message for young girls – appreciate and be true to yourself. “Through the dolls, the goal is to encourage girls to be physically, mentally and emotionally healthy through sports and physical activity” states Norgaard. “Go! Go! Sports Girls are age and size appropriate and do not encourage an older or overly mature image.”

Dream Big Toy Company donates a portion of profits from the sale of Go! Go! Sports Girls to organizations that encourage girls to participate in physical activity and develop healthy lifestyles.

Jodi sent us two of the dolls – one gymnast and one swimmer – to check out for ourselves. The dolls are so cute and it is apparent that a lot of attention to message and detail was put into the design of the dolls. I love the sling back pack that each of the dolls comes with and on their belly is embroidered a very special, sport specific inspirational message. My swimmer loved that her doll has “Dream Big, Swim Fast” on her and can’t wait to take her to her next swim meet.

On the Go! Go! Girls web site you can get more information on the organizations they support, articles on healthy living and fun exercise tips, and of course you can order your own sports girl!

Gifts for Sporty Girls

Char — Fri, 31 Oct 2008 14:33:42 +0000

The holidays are right around the corner and I am going to start doing my shopping early this year. Since my kids don’t really need toys, some of my gift ideas are to get them some cool gear for their individual sports. My recommendations today include:

Destira Leotards – we LOVE these leotards for gymnastics practice. They are well made, wash well and come in so many cool designs. Place an order between now and 12/14/09 and get 15% off with the code SAVE15.
Got a swimmer? I just ordered the Small Pro Backpack from Speedo for my daughters. It has plenty of room for their gear, but the small version is perfect for kids under 10 as they can carry it themselves (the regular size one is as big as they are). I can get their fins in the bag, there is a separate pocket for wet suits, and even a place for their iPod. SwimLocker is my favorite place to order their gear thanks to their large selection and free shipping option.
If you miss the Olympics as much as I do, check out the US Olympic Shop for sweatshirts, hats, bags, and more. Take 15% Off no Minimum at US Olympic Shop! Use Code LKS38LFN.
Zappos, which I used to think only carried shoes, now has a great selection of Women’s Nike clothing at Zappos.com and they always offer free shipping!
And just because it looks like fun, I am going to get my girls the We Cheer game for Wii. I like the dance component of it and we can all play it together.
Justice (a spin off of Limited Too) always has sport themed ts, fleece, sweat pants and outfits. They seem to get new designs for gymnastics, soccer, and dance every season, and I have seen swim, basketball, and general athletic themes from time to time. Justice Sale! Fleece Jacket Now $24.99 each (thru 11/11)

As the holidays get closer, I will continue to highlight fun gifts for girls who love sports and track down some great deals, too. If you have any recommendations, don’t be shy – share them with us.

Destira Leotards – Our New Favorite Brand

Char — Sun, 19 Oct 2008 01:07:51 +0000

My gymnast daughter just went through a growth spurt and suddenly all but two of her leotards were too small. That meant a stack of leotards for me to list on eBay and it also meant I needed to get some new leotards for her. This summer when we went to USA Gymnastics Congress and Trade Show we discovered Destira leotards. They have a great selection of fun prints and I was impressed with the fabric and stitching quality.

My daughter went to the Destira site and immediately found two leotards that she loved! Shipping was quick and when the leotards arrived, my daughter was thrilled – they looked even better on than she expected. Plus, no one else in the gym has them yet.

If you are looking for affordable, quality practice leotards for your gymnast, check out Destira leotards – they are our new favorite brand.

COUPON CODE: SAVE15 for 15% off through 12/14/09

Sport Tees from Justice Just for Girls

Char — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 02:33:57 +0000

With two girls who play sports and love fun fashion, I spend a lot of time shopping at Justice Just for Girls and its sister store Limited Too. The two stores always seem to have at least one cute gymnastics, soccer, dance, swim, or basketball outfit every season. Occasionally they have other sports too.

For my daughter’s birthday she got one of their latest t-shirts that says “It’s a Gymnast Thing, You Wouldn’t Understand” – too cute! They have the same basic shirt in a soccer version too.

Justice and Limited Too both have great sales all the time so there is no reason to pay full price. For example, Justice Sale! Embellished Tee Now 2 or more $10.90 each (thru 10/12)
