Lord, thank you for the gift of my children and the opportunity they have to play sports. Help me to do what I can to make this a positive experience for them. Help me to always understand that this is their game and to find ways to make sure their experience brings them joy. Give me the graces I will need as I watch my young athlete participate and interact with the athletes, coaches and parents involved in the team. May you protect all these athletes as they play, keep them safe and grant that they may have a fun experience that draws them closer to You through growth spiritually, mentally and physically. May our family always seek to glorify you in all that we do. Amen.
