SKLZ All Sports Practice NetThe kids were so sad this morning when they had to get up and go to school! For the past 10 days they have been on Spring Break and that has meant lots of time to play and relax. The play part of Spring Break was definitely made more fun for the whole family as we were sent a SKLZ Quickster 7′ x 7′ all sports net to review from Sports Authority – and be sure to read all the way down because I am giving away two of them!

The SKLZ Quickster net is the perfect backyard practice tool for every sport involving a ball. In the two weeks we have had the net it has been used to practice field hockey, soccer, baseball, golf and football. We had way too much fun chipping golf balls at it and trying to get them in the center pouch.

The Quickster is large – measuring 7 feet x 7 feet, but it is super easy to assemble (my 15 year old and 10 year old got it all set up in under 5 minutes for me) and has a storage bag so you can easily take it to the field and set up an additional practice station. The bag target is detachable and you can position it just about anywhere in the net to practice shot or throwing accuracy.

The SKLZ Quickster retails for $149 and can be purchased at your local Sports Authority store or online at SportsAuthority.com.

What we are giving away:

We are giving away two (2) SKLZ Quickster nets.

Sports Mom recommended reading

It has been a while since I have put together a recommended reading list, but there are some good reads out there this week whether you are a sports mom or dad, sports fan or athlete!

Here’s to a successful sports filled weekend for everyone! My youngest daughter has her first swim meet of the short course season this weekend, so it will be chlorine fumes, stop watches and lots of cheering for me!

I can’t believe it is July already! Just think, this time next year we will be in the midst of Olympic Trials and counting down the days to the London Olympic Games.
