For The Keiki
The Web Site that I’m recommended is www.sikids.com. I began visiting this site two years ago when I was a volunteer football and basketball coach in my community This Web Site dose not only talk about children in sports it also gives children advice on how to deal with the stresses of , wining, parents who place to much importance on sports, and gives kids advice on how to maintain proper health. Because there is a huge difference in the way a young athlete and an adult athlete should nourish their little bodies. This site features interactive gaming, cartons, articles, and different pages featuring their favorite’s sports athletics. These interactive games not feature today’s stars from mainstream sports like football, basketball, and baseball. I also includes extreme athletes like BMX racer Ryan Nyguist. As well as female star athletes like soccer star Mia Hamm and Professional tennis player Serena Williams. This site tries to cater to all sports and both girl and boy athletes.
This web site in not exclusively for kids, it has sections as well as links for parents encouraging them to get involved In their community, and gives tips for parents on how to keep their kids safe during sports season. Also, this site tackles an issue that has arising in the past few years, parent’s behavior at kids events. There’s advice for parents on how to keep their cool and remain calm if they don’t believe the officials made the right call, and how to cheer for your child in a positive way. Although this Site attracts kids through sports, It uses features like flash, interactive game playing, and cartoons to get much more important message out to young athletes and there parents, that is just a game. Some parents push their children to hard, and place too much emphasis on sports.

best one yet
You do an excellent job examining the way this site appeals to its different audiences, which includes both young male and female athletes as well as their parents (and, I suppose, folks like yourself who work with youth athletics). The site has clearly thought through a number of issues that would be important to its constituency, including nutrition, safety, and mental health. It's especially interesting that it is engaging the apparently growing problem of extremely "committed" parents of young competitors, who can often place far too much pressure on their children and set them up for serious problems. The site has to negotiate complex social dynamics to convey messages like this.
The site offers a range of features and tie-ins to commercial products like games. I was also struck by the fact that the site offers its own interactive games, including one in which you can "build your own athlete. This is another interesting aspect of its multimodality. It's good that you point out this aspect of the site, which seems quite appropriate given the focus of the organization.
