Sports Parenting and Divorce - Summer Camps

Parenting Plan:  oh yes, this again.  If you read my book, “Zero Offseason – Divorce, Youth Sports & Tips for the Insanely Busy Sports Mom”, you know how big of an impact a smart parenting plan has on creating a positive environment for youth sports scheduling. 

Is your current parenting plan working for the youth athlete as a road map for success?  Or is the parenting plan being used as a weapon against the ex?  Design the summer parenting plan to accommodate summer camps and clinics, not the other way around.  Again – easier said than done but figure this one out well before summer.  Summer camps and practices will cut into your parenting plan time - use the “best interest” standard for making decisions.
