Top Hacks to Keep Kids Playing (at Home)

March 18 2020

FlipGive is a free team funding app that makes raising money a breeze. Teams earn cash back for buying the things they already need. Get paid whenever you shop, dine out, book hotels or activities.

We can all agree on the fact that we all love watching our kids play the game they love. With the current events affecting our everyday lives as well as their sport activities, we are all looking for ideas to keep the kids busy at home. While the games may be paused, it doesn't mean their training has to stop. Bring the sport into your home with these hacks, and keep earning for your team when you shop at your favorite stores. 

Hockey Training 

The warm weather is here and it's the perfect time to transform your garage into a hockey rink with synthetic ice tiles, slide boards, fishing nets, off-ice training pucks and wooden sticks. It's also the best moment to train to improve stickhandling, shooting and passing.

Soccer Training 

The great thing about soccer is that not much is needed to practice at home. With just a yard, a soccer ball, some cones and a net you'll be set to create your own in house field. Cone dribbling, one touch shooting and rollover dribbles are awesome ways to get the game going while staying at home.

Same with basketball, you don't need to break the house to help the kids practice their dribbling and shooting game. With a only a ball and a hoop set, there are plenty of ways to have fun together and improve their skills. Practice who can dribble the longest, play Simon sats with dribble instructions, play knockout with the family, and many more
