Flag Football by Day, Pool by Afternoon
With a hot week ahead, I was extra grateful Ford would be spending his afternoons cooling off in the pool. Monday morning started with the usual routine: sunscreen reminders, a giant insulated water bottle, and a quick pep talk before heading out the door.
Pickup was seamless. The group was easy to spot, relaxed in the shade, and checkout was quick and cheerful. Ford came bouncing over, full of energy and ready to tell us all about his day.
That became the rhythm: active mornings, refreshing swims, and enthusiastic updates at dinner—usually about football plays, pool games, or a new friend. He came home tired (in the best way) and already excited for the next day.

Skyhawks Sports delivers on the things that matter most to families:
- Reliable, full-day schedule: Great for working parents or anyone juggling summer logistics
