Summertime is here and that means summer sports are in full gear. Liberty Mutual’s Responsible Sports program educates parents and coaches about the positive influence sports play in children's lives. Summer and sports are a winning combo for kids who swap school books for bats and balls, as they take part in summer camps and sports leagues. ResponsibleSports.com and TwitterMoms have come up with a fun contest and we want to hear from you! You could win a gift card just for entering the contest.
Here is the question:
"As a parent, how do you encourage and reinforce the positive aspects of youth sports?"
How It Works:
