Organizational Issues?
School bags and sports bags for kids are important organizational tools. Having the right bag can make it easy for your child, whether elementary aged, or teen, to keep things together and stay focused. Take it from someone who struggled to stay organized through her high school years, a good school bag would have been a great idea. Unfortunately, at the time, such bags weren't commonly carried at school, and as a result, I toted what seemed like tons of school books with me to and from, class, locker, bus.
If your tween or teen is involved in sports, a sackpack is a great way to help her keep her simple sports gear separate from her books and other class related materials. Of course, if she has a lot of gear to handle, a duffle bag is more appropriate. However, a sackpack is lightweight, slings over the shoulders, and has plenty of space for a water bottle, cleats, and clothing. During the softball season, my teen daughter uses a duffel, but during soccer season, a sack pack is perfect for carrying her things.

It's wise to instruct your tweens and teens about cautions with personal belongings, and that a sports bag does not insure safety of materials inside, nor security. Cell phones tucked in bags can still be damaged, and valuables left unattended can be stolen. If it's possible to stow belongings in a locked area during athletic practice, there's a little more security. If not, help your child to learn to be aware of the goings on in the area.
Also, be conscious of temperatures and conditions during the sporting season. While most coaches provide plenty of water, be sure your young person makes a point to drink plenty of water, even during colder weather. A good hydration bottle is sensible, as it can be refilled from team jugs, or at water fountains.
