Why Mom’s Score Bee?

Why Should Sports Moms Support Mom’s Score Bee?

•Moms Helping Moms - A percentage of every product/service sold helps to support disadvantaged single-mom families in need of funds for  equipment, uniforms, registration fees, travel  and other items required for their sons  to play sports. 

•Cool Moms Rock – Being a “cool” mom in the eyes of her son is priceless. Knowing all about the latest  trades, max contracts, injuries, record breakers  and of course stats and standings will solidify her coolness.

•Paying Bills or  Playing Ball - When a family has to choose between paying the utility bill or paying for their son’s Little League Fees, the choice is obvious and this young man loses the opportunity to learn about sportsmanship,  teamwork, and the brotherhood of a team. The sports world will lose out on the potential contributions, no matter how small or great, of an athlete who never had a chance to get in the game.

•Positive Influence  - Young men who have nowhere positive to go after school potentially make poor choices on where they  go and who they hang out with which can lead to very negative consequences for them, their families and their neighborhoods. Supporting MSB helps provide  resources that allow these young men to find a sports home.

•Uniting Young Men -  MSB wants to bring young men of all races and beliefs together in the locker room, on the field and in their neighborhoods. Supporting MSB will  send needed funds to disadvantaged young men to provide them with the equipment and services they will need to help equalize the figurative and literal playing field. 

•His First Love – His mom is  a  son’s first love, when he’s young it’s natural  for him to  love her and treat her with respect. Helping to keep that respect for her as he grows up and for women in general is one our goals.  If MSB can be a small part of instilling a lifelong commitment to treating women in the manner they should be treated, we have done our job.

Benefits of Playing Sports:

•Many athletes do better academically. 
Playing a sport requires a lot of time and energy. Some may think this would distract student-athletes from schoolwork. However, the opposite is true. Sports require memorization, repetition and learning — skillsets that are directly relevant to classwork. Also, the determination and goal-setting skills sports require can be transferred to the classroom.

•Sports teach teamwork and help achieve goals. 
Fighting for a common goal with a host of other players, coaches, managers and community members teaches you how to build a collective team synergy and effectively communicate the best way to solve problems en route to a victory. This will be very helpful in life when encountering problems at work, at home, or in any arena.

•Sports offer many health benefits, some less obvious. 
Clearly, sports will improve your fitness and weight goals. However, they also encourage healthy decisions such as not smoking or drinking and offer hidden health benefits such as a lower chance of getting osteoporosis or breast cancer later in life. Also, a team counting on you to show up and work hard is plenty of motivation for you to get to the gym or the field day in and day out.

•Sports boost self-esteem. 
Watching your hard work pay off and achieving your dreams brings about tons of self-confidence. If you can achieve something in a sport or with a fitness goal, then you know you can achieve any other goal you set. This is a very rewarding and exciting process.

•Playing a sport cuts down on pressure and stress. 
Exercising is a natural way to loosen up and let go of stress. Also, you will most likely make many new friends on the team who can be there for you as a support system. When you find you are having a lot of stress, you can call up teammates and head to the gym or field to talk it out and play it out.
