A:  SportsMix offers a mixture of traditional sports and P.E. type sports for kids…thus the name SportsMix.  Currently we are organizing T-ball, Flag Football, Soccer, Kickball and more to come in the future like volleyball, basketball, and more.   

A: We rent out and play in Albuquerque public/private facilities such as parks and community centers, etc. We want to bring sports leagues to a neighborhood near you whether you want to play near your home or work. Also, by playing at our local parks and community centers, we support the community. SportsMix also will donate used equipment back to the community centers to benefit our youth like the after school programs.

A:  Each season typically is 7-9 weeks long depending on the sport, season, and league (sports leagues or instructional leagues) 

A:  Our kids (youth) leagues are considered recreational.  We do NOT train (practicing 3-6 days per week) your child for the sport like club sports.  We are simply a type of instructional league that teaches your child basic fundamentals, sportsmanship, team work, healthy competition, and having fun.  We realize there will always be a competitive spirit that comes with playing sports, which is perfectly natural and healthy. 

A:  No.  Every child plays. 

A:  A sports league is for a child who knows the basics concept of the sport of choice and wants to increase their knowledge plus play games at the same time.  The sports leagues are typically 9 weeks with two (2) to three (3) weeks of instructional phase with remaining weeks being one (1) practice and (1) game occurring on the same day.   

Instructional leagues are for children who have no and/or little knowledge of the sport.  This league is excellent for young children 3-6 years old whose parents desire for them to socialize and play with other children same age, teaching basic skills at a simple level.  Instructional leagues are excellent for older children who need to learn basic fundamentals of the sport and/or a fresher course.  The instructional league will focus on teaching your child the basics which progresses them to playing the BIG GAME at the end of the season.  You’ll be proud to see your child and how much they have progressed and learned.  See their confidence soar! 

A:  You are the best person to determine your child’s needs and ability; however, you can call us if you need some advice to determine placement.

A:  Approximately one (1) week prior to the start of the league, you will receive an e-mail notification that your “Kids SportsPak” is ready, which contains:  schedule, venue info, rules, etc.  Then…just show up and play.

A:  You’re in luck!  SportsMix also offers Personal Instruction in a variety of sports for those who desire or need extra attention to up their game.  Our philosophy is to not only teach and focus on the importance of technique for the sport, but we also educate in terms of mental aspect of being an athlete and the game.  90% of the game is mental! 

Our Personal Instructors are typically present/former high level athletes, coaches, who understand our philosophy.  A great coach does not necessarily need to be a champion at the game but should be the champion at understanding the sport, great technical eye, ability to teach and articulate based on how your child learns, makes the sport interesting for the students.  Great athletes are not always good coaches.   We provide quality not quantity and space is limited.

A:  Yes.  We understand some parents like to be involved in instructing their child’s sports.  If you commit to the team and to the entire season, we will waive one (1) child registration fee in trade for your time and effort.  We handle all administrative issues.  Call us for further details. 

A:  No.  At this point we don’t have any discounts; however, it is in our immediate future.

A:  Great!  You can pay a discounted fee for purchasing a full team.  Your child still can sign up as an individual and still request to play with a friend by noting it in the “comment section” when registering.  We will do our best to accommodate all requests. 

A:  Call us!  There could be spots available if not sold out. 

A:  Yes or trade your time and we will waive one (1) child’s registration fee.  We handle all administrative issues.  Contact us for further details on this super deal. 

A:  Absolutely!  SportsMix conducts background screenings on every one of our staff who comes in contact with children.  Your child’s safety is our priority. 

A:  Call us anytime!  Our office:  (505) 999.1037 or E-mail us:  admin@sportsmixnm.com 

A:  Absolutely not!  Because of our SMX Operational System we have designed and organized our leagues to take care of everything for one (1) fee. 

A:  We have found that it can be very difficult on the family shuffling children back and forth from activity to activity.  Travel time from your job, picking your children from school to take them to their activity, back home for dinner (or dinner on the run), homework, bath, getting to bed can be daunting every week.  

Solution! We want to give back your family time and make it more fun and educational for the whole family.  Practices & games are back to back, 90 minutes long, once (1) per week usually on the weekends (Saturday or Sunday).  A family outing rather than family stress.  Spend more time together.  Plus, your child will retain information better by practicing prior to game time thus having more success.

A:  We send you notification every season (Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter) on all of our upcoming leagues for adults and kids.  You will be in an exclusive league and in the future will receive discounts at participating stores, shops, restaurants, etc.  You will always be in the loop!

We respect your privacy and will never share your information with anyone.  Period!  Your information is strictly for internal use.  We want to learn more about you and your family. Our goal and commitment is to provide the best sports experience in Albuquerque.
