Join us for an evening with John O’Sullivan, author of Changing the Game: The Parents’ Guide to Raising Happy, High-Performing Athletes, and Giving Youth Sports Back to Our Kids.

Conventional wisdom holds that youth sports are a positive experience for our children, yet 70% drop out of organized athletics by age 13.

Youth sports have become an ultra-competitive, adult-centered enterprise that has taken the ‘play’ out of ‘play ball’ for far too many kids. Learn ways to help athletes perform to their potential, while at the same time giving children ownership of their sports experience: www.changingthegameproject.com

Great for both parent and professional coaches of athletes of all ages. Free for PTA members in the Mercer Island School District. $10 at the door for non-Mercer Island PTA members.
