Our annual rhyming issue is coming out in March.  Send us you best sports rhyme, along with name, age, school, and parental approval and there’s a good chance we’ll print it. Whether you favorite sport is basketball, baseball, swimming, tennis, or whatever, we’d like to hear from you.  The topic is anything dealing with sports – your favorite sport, your favorite coach, sportsmanship, sports heroes – anything you’d like to write about.

Send your short poems, 20 lines or less, to SportsKidsPlay newspaper, 415 Pisgah Church Road #322, Greensboro, NC 27455 or you can click on our CONTACT US PAGE and email it to us.
