Player must haves
Muddy boots are the bain of my existance with all this winter weather we've had ☔️
After the match my teenagers throw their muddy boots in the bottom of a bag and then blame me for not having them clean when they next need to wear them.
Simply fill...
BootBuddy Shoe & Boot Cleaner Brush Kit
This has been amazing for drying soaking wet boots this season in record time.
No matter how much you try and dry them the smell always lingers except when I use this.
I used to make the boys keep their boots locked away but now they can be in the regular show storage.
FORLIM Shoe Dryer & Boot Dryer
I got tired of carrying endless bags full of sports stuff and being like a pack horse so we purchased these and wow what a difference.
The boys are able to put their boots at the bottom so that they don't get their clothes and towel dirty/wet.

Nike Academy Team Football Hardcase Duffel Bag (Large, 59L)
My boys love this wash bag - no need to worry about them getting it wet because its water repellent.
Plenty of room for the teenagers to have their toiletries all in one place ready for post game
UA Contain Travel Kit | Under Armour UK
Water is key to keeping our sports mad kids healthy and hydrated for the game.
This bottle is sturdy enough to cope with being thrown off the pitch during a quick water break and holds 1 litre of water so it'll last well into extra time.
Super Sparrow TouchSip Water Bottle - BPA-Free
I must have at least 20 pairs of these in a variety of colours floating around the house. Theres always a pair in the washing machine and one in the tumble dryer.
My boys will not play any sport without these grip socks, the little black spots lock onto the sole of the boot and stop their feet sliding in the boot.
Saves them from rolling their ankles and also means they score more points (apparently)
Gain The Edge Soccer Grip Socks - Set - White
My boys love to block out the outside noise on game day - they need to get their head in the zone.
These are perfect for the car journey and changing room - but also cheap enough that if they loose them they can be replaced
Come a few different col...

Mums early morning kit
Welly Boots are so unflattering but are a must for sports mums that stand on the side lines through all the wind, rain and mud.
I came across these boots and fell in love purely because they don't look like a normal welly boot and actually look like a chelsea boot.
They come in a range a colours as well - perfect.
Barbour Halton Chelsea Welly Boots Light Oak Bleached Olive - Women's Ankle Boots
Dry robes are everywhere and on the side of the pitch is no exception.
After spending months getting wet and fighting to hold up an umbrella I bit the bullet and bought one.
Yes they are pricey but they are 100% worth it.
They keep you warm and dry from your head to your toes (almost).
A range of colours for you to chose from
Black Pink Advance Changing Robe
Cheaper than a Stanley and does the same job.
I love being a sports mam but I'm not a fan of the early morning kick offs in the cold winter mornings. I can make a hot cup of coffee in the morning before we leave and it will still be piping hot after 2 hours stood on the side of the field.
Equally in the summer I can make an ice cold frappee or raspberry lemonade and it will stay cold for hours.
WATERSY 40oz Travel Mug Rose Quartz
When theres no showers for the team it means one thing - your car seats will be covered in mud. Absolutley not!
These are not the most flattering accessory to your car but they absolutely do the job.
We keep them in the boot of the car and simply throw them away when we get home - definitely easier than scrubbing dirt form your seats
Holdfiturn 100pcs Disposable Transparent Car Seat Covers 140x80cm
Perfect folding chair with a carry bag to sit and watch that sports tournament in comfort.
I leave them permanently in the boot of the car ready to go - they've been pitch side, at the park, the beech and even an extra chair at the garden party.
The high back gives you the support you need when sitting and the cup holder means you've got your hands free for clapping and cheering on your child and their team.
Green Haven Folding Camping Chair w/ Cup Holder
Small light weight bag that is perfect for the sports tournaments.
The kids will have you spending a fortune of food throughout the day so it's always nice to have some snacks to hand to keep them fed without breaking the bank
