9 Essential Must-Haves to Make Every Sports Mom’s Life Easier

1. Sports Mom Tote Must Have

This bag is perfect to fit everything you could possibly ever need, from the game itself to the errands you run between games. I’m able to fit our picnic blanket, snack box, a bag of activities for my other kids not playing as well as other activities like marker bags, books and more.

The best part is it’s waterproof! You know how miserable it is when that downpour happens in the middle of the game but this affordable bag will keep everything nice and dry inside!

2. Miscellaneous Item Containers

These small containers are perfect for the small items you NEED, but always somehow gets lost in the dark abyss of your tote bag. The strap is perfect to clip it to your purse and be able to easily access these necessities.

3. Portable Sports Blanket Must Have

This fleece blanket is the ultimate way to stay cozy during those games when the temperature suddenly drops, or if it starts raining. The waterproof exterior will keep you dry and warm!

4. Portable Picnic Blanket

Foldable checkered picnic blanket

This picnic blanket is ideal for finding the perfect spot to watch the game on the grass without the hassle of lugging around a bulky bed sheet. It easily rolls up and fits neatly into your bag, making it super convenient for on the go days!

I use this for my athlete’s siblings (and all the other team siblings)! Spread it out, add some snacks and coloring and they’re set for a least a few minutes. 😉

5. Portable Charger Must Have

Have you ever been about to capture the perfect shot of your kid scoring the game-winning goal, only to have your phone die at the last second? Can’t relate! These portable chargers go everywhere with me, ensuring I never miss a moment.

6. Snack On The Go

Compartmentalized Snack Box | Snacks Pouch

These snack packs are perfect for keeping your kids’ snacks organized and separated, so you’re always prepared to fuel them and maybe even their teammates to keep going. And hey, you might even sneak a bite yourself 😉

7. Sports Toiletries

8. Cold Weather Game Day Essentials

These items are perfect for staying warm on those chilly days when the temperature drops lower than the scoreboard! The heated vest, paired with electric hand warmers, will keep you toasty throughout the entire game.

9. Retractable Markers and Bag
