I will be the Willow Grove Bears biggest fan. With my daughter cheering for the 65lbs team and my wife coaching that team my son and I need a great place to sit and enjoy. Then when my son's 90lbs football team takes the field I will be a first time sideline dad. I have coached the last 6 years but it is time for me to take to the sideline to cheer him on!! GO BEARS!!!!

Softball no longer is a spring sport it goes on and on spring thru fall outside and moves indoors for the winter and then there's volleyball fall to summer it never ends. A good chair is a staple for us spectators

I spend my time watching and supporting my kids sports. My daughter (8 yrs old) in soccer (practices and games), plus my son (12 yrs) baseball (Team USA Huntington Beach). I always bring a chair for grandma and bring an umbrella for her (she had skin cancer and needs to stay out of the sun). What a way to keep the sun off of her. These chairs look great.

We're cheering and bench-coaching our 2nd generation through AYSO soccer now, and as grandparents, we may be ready to (occasionally) sit down on the sidelines and just enjoy. Thanks SKLZ for all the cool sports gear (esp. your incredible sportsbrella, which is the first umbrella we've used for river rafting that hasn't blown down!) .

I have a strong propensity to burn in the sun and tell people that I'm like a bermuda onion in the summer -- Red, White and in Layers!!
In the past, I could be seen sitting and still turning red while on the sidelines with a regular umbrella in hand in hopes of fending of the rays as I supported all my kids in tennis, soccer, football, baseball and track (also as we golf, fish and camp). My older children are now in college, but I still support my youngest son's High School Soccer team (fall), his state wide soccer team (year round) and his local club soccer team (Spring) (and still am in the sun for golf, fishing and camping.) As members of the local booster club, we try to attend other events too...LOVE a good football game!
Since my older kids are in college, I have a wee bit more time, so also help with the local club's recreational soccer program and skills camp.
Would LOVE to be sitting on the sidelines with my hubby in our new Sport-brella chairs as we cheer our teams on!!

I am a mom of 4..And 3 of the 4 kids play select soccer and it rains here in Seattle area most of the year!!! I am out at the soccer fields every day! I also have a micro preemie baby girl that I bring with me. Oh boy would this chair and umbrella make a difference for a mommy like me. Having a preemie you have to make sure she is warm,dry and GERM free! I can\'t hold an umbrella and hold her and her oxygen tank so I NEED THIS. Right now I am watching from the car when it rains BOO HOO

A mom of three I lived for the two sports free weeks between seasons. Now, not only have those weeks disappeared all the sports overlap. I can easily watch soccer goals at 8, touchdowns by noon and cheer for a three pointer before dinner. In addition to the comfortable stadium seating for both travel and recreational basketball played by all three of my junior athletes, I am wearing out folding chairs every season as I enjoy my football playing son, his twin sister who plays soccer and older brother who is now a soccer referee. Each kid has only two activities, but for me that means 6! However, as busy as it keeps me, I must admit, nothing is more exciting than watching J sack the quarerback, L steal the ball, dribble down the field and make a perfect pass or D blocking a shot. I can\'t think of any place I would rather be than watching them learn and grow through sports. Nothing could make those moments more perfect...except watching them form these awesome chairs !

I am a 12 year sideline soccer mom!! I love the sport and so does my son. He plays for his school as well as for an outside league so we are doing soccer year round. Having these chairs would be great so I could let the boys use them to rest between playing.. I always bring a chair which seems to be used by one of our boys which I don't mind because I am more of a move with the ball type of spectator, lol.

Almost everything, I say is an occasion to use this fabulous Sport Chair ! I own a sportsbrella and have not been burn by the sun at the beach this summer. The quality is superior and I'm sure the Sport Chair will be great. My daughters soccer games and practices in late summer and fall are still very sunny and this chair would be great to have for those days. I would take it with me to the fall festival, I know everyone will be envious of my Sport Chair, People at the beach have stopped me and asked what kind of umbrella I have and where can they get one. So I'm sure they will be curious how and where to get one. I would love to be sitting in the sideline with my daughter and sport chairs.

La primera vez que mire el anuncio en la Internet, no me llamo mucho la atencion porque yo no podia creer que una simple sombrilla Nos alcansara a protejer a mi familia y a mi del sol. Un dia que lleve a mis hijos a la practica de futbol estaba tan caliente ese dia y donde estabamos no habia sombra, me quede pensando si por lo menos tuviera algo con que cubrirnos! Me decidi a tratar la Sombrilla y me quede sorprendida que en realidad si funciona y es muy practica para cargarla a todos Los juegos de futbol. Por eso se las recomiendo 100%, y Les aseguro que le va a encantar.

My eight year old son plays baseball - travel baseball, regular season, and now is starting fall baseball. Since April, we have had a total of three weekends that we were NOT on the baseball field. During regular season baseball, my four year old daughter got an \"idea\". She decided that our chairs needed shade after seeing someone with a chair that had a \"cover\". So, she attached her two Disney Princess umbrellas to our standard fold-up arm chairs. Each and every game during the summer, we sat under these \"princess\" chairs. It would be wonderful to have something with a shade so that we can retire our princess chairs.

We have two kids in football. We have one that plays HYFL where we cheer on every Monday and Thursday for practice as well as on Saturdays for games. We also have a high school student that plays on the JV team. They play usually on Thursday evenings. Our JV player also plays in the high school band so we go to cheer on the Varsity team along with the band. Our youngest also plays select baseball year round. So we are usually at tournaments on the weekends. Busy, busy year this year! We love to watch any sport where the kdis are out there and working very hard!

Does it get any better than that!!! My age is getting up there but my heart is young and my voice is LOUD in support of all these precious boys and their teams!

With 3 kids in travel sports year-round I have to take special care of my skin on the sidelines! My father was diagnosed with Melanoma a few years ago (successfully treated!), which runs in our family and we have all the risk factors for. As children in the 70\'s we didn\'t have the awareness of the damage being done to our skin so my sister and I have to take extra care now. Your products are a particularly terrific option for me because I\'m so allergic to a lot of sunscreens (bummer since I work for one of the big manufacturers!). I\'d love to have these chairs, one for me and one for my Dad. We would use them for our 8,9 and 12 year olds travel soccer, travel lacrosse, football and basketball games!! I also love how compact and lightweight they are since we travel all over the east coast for their tournaments so I need stuff that\'s easy to pack and carry! We\'d use these 6 to 7 days a week between all the practices and games (yes, lacrosse games are on Sunday - it\'s not just soccer tournaments!) My father would of course enjoy not only the games/practices of my 3 children, but also of my sisters 3 boys.

We have three boys so are always at a field - lately the sports of choice are soccer or football. Just yesterday we sat in the rain for my 7 year old's travel football game and my goal today was to find something to help watching the games and attending the 2-3 practices each week in the rain or (gulp) snow more enjoyable. These chairs look like our answer and would be used almost daily. Whoever wins these chairs will be so lucky.
