Since my older son was in third grade, I have been a proud Basketball Mom. He has always loved basketball and, if it was up to him, he would spend every minute of his life on the court. Seeing him grow as an athlete has been a tremendous source of pride for me because of the values that have been instilled in him when it comes to being a team player and pushing himself to the limits.
When we started this journey years ago, I never imagined that I would begin to love basketball and even become one of the loudest moms in the bleachers cheering for my son. Basketball has become a huge part of our lives since my son plays for his school’s team and is also on a traveling team during the off-season. So, basically, it’s all basketball, all the time around these parts.
Our family’s love of basketball and our son’s dedication to the sport is why I was so excited when Hotels4Teams asked me to become a part of their Ambassador Program. Since my son is on a traveling basketball team, I know all too well the cost associated with making sure that he is able to get to all his games and have all the equipment that he needs.
Traveling with the team to new places can be exciting but it can also be very stressful and I love that Hotels4Teams helps parents find hotel options near the sports venue at lower rates and with no booking fees. Aside from being a search engine for sports travel, they also offer extensive travel guides for teams and tips that are lifesavers for Sports Moms like me as well as teams, athletes, other parents, and fans.
Believe me, when you have an entourage full of teenage basketball players, you better have everything in place that they need to get ready for the big game because that is all they are thinking about when we head to a tournament or travel out of state for the weekend. Hotels4Teams has you covered and takes the stress out of planning team travel. Now that is what us Basketball Moms refer to as a “Slam Dunk!”
Make sure you connect with Hotels4Teams on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter to learn more about how you can search for any sports venue and locate the closest hotels to that venue. Whether that is a High School Football field or a large Convention Center, Hotels4Teamscan find the closest hotels, making selecting a block of rooms to accommodate your entire team easy peasy lemon squeezie!

This sounds like a fabulous company! My kids don’t play sports at the moment, but my daughter starts middle school in the fall and might start. She’s saying she might try volleyball so Hotels4Teams would come in handy.
This looks like a cool program. My kids don’t currently play organized sports — maybe some day, I’m certainly not against it! However, I did participate in them as a teen and I know it was often a pain for my parents to find affordable accommodations local to our venue.
I never knew there was an organization that catered to traveling teams. I always assumed the coaches had to just arrange it on their own! Good to know!
My DIL hosts her son’s basketball team for parties. I must forward this to her for ideas.
Wow, this is the first time I heard about Hotels4Teams. It sounds great and would be really helpful for lots of people (or, teams)!
My boys don’t participate in sports until they get to middle school. My older boys did track and cross country.
Both my kids currently do tumbling. I used to do tumbling when I was a kid so I am super excited for my kiddos!
It is for the first time I hear about this program. Sounds good and helpful! I must forward this to my friends for ideas.
That is so rad!! My parents would’ve loved something like this when I traveled to tournaments too!!!
I still have a long way to go for my boys to start on sports, it’s good to read such posts and know what’s out there.
I love this article! It shows the wonders of how much moms do for their children. I’ve never heard about Hotels4Teams before, but it looks super helpful!
Hats off to you sports moms! my friends are all sports moms too and boy is it hard work! You guys really do it all 🙂
How cool that there is a company of hotels that wants teams! SO great for these teams!
This sounds super helpful to all the parents out there who are traveling to Sports events. What a fabulous article!
My daughter is 5 and just now wanting to get into sports! I grew up swimming and did a competition team where we traveled all around the state!
Sounds so much fun to be had. I have been the mom to children in sports and now grandkids in sports and love to get involved thanks for sharing your depth of involvement.
My brothers are very active in extracurricular activities too. I will let her know about this service! Thanks for sharing!
Wow this sounds awesome and very helpful/useful. My kids aren’t doing sports at the moment but this would be such a helpful program if they were!
My mom was a sports mom when my brother was still in school, he played soccer when he was younger and then got into football in middle school and played throughout HS.
I do not have any kids but I have a gf who travels all the time because of hockey games here in Canada. Not sure if this is an option here but will surely share with her, it will be convenient for her!
What an absolutely fantastic sounding programme, it sounds like they are really trying to help kids who are into sports!
This sounds like a cool program. Thank you for sharing this information
That’s a great program that encourages kids to pursue their dream. I think it’s really nice that you partnered up with them. Thanks for sharing more about the program!
My son is a good sportsman at the age of 11 and I love the spirit he exhibits during his play. It’s a matter of pride for parents too.
I haven’t heard of this program before but it sure looks great and fun. Hope there will be programs like this one in our country since we are into basketball here.
It’s always great to see your kids do well in anything. I’m sure you are loving it since. I can totally feel you because my kid is also involved a top choir association and always treasure the moment when I see and hear her perform on stage.
Wow. I’ve never heard of Hotels4Teams until now, but I can see how their service would be really valuable. I traveled with my daughter for a short time with gymnastics, and I can see how it could get very expensive to stay in hotels at every location. (I was fortunate to have family in most of the cities.)
This seems like a great sports club! My children enjoy sports as well.
I have a 13 year old nephew who wants to be the next Steph Curry! I think this Hotel4Moms is amazing I want to be an ambassador is there a Hotel4Aunties? lol
We love your perspective! Thanks for sharing your Sports Mom stories.
