What sports did we play growing up?

Mike and Seth met and became lifelong friends while playing basketball.  They enjoy all aspects of the game, and other sports too, but most of all appreciate the valuable lifelong lessons they learned from playing.  Sports brings people together and provides a special bonding experience that can last a lifetime. With backyard sports, they want others to enjoy that experience, and what better way to do so than at your own home with family and friends.  Although they are busy in “adulthood,” they still find time to play an occasional game of horse or one on one game of basketball.  Let’s just say their competitive spirit is alive and well!

Do our kids play sports?

Studies have shown that children who are involved in sports are less likely to have obstacles to overcome as they enter their formative years and beyond. They exude more confidence, have greater self esteem, work better in teams, and exhibit stronger leadership abilities than those that do not participate in sports.
