ABOUT US

Welcome to The Sideline Sibling, your go-to destination for those of us who spend our weekends cheering on the team!

We believe that supporting our siblings and youth players is essential, which is why we not only showcase our funny, energetic collection of products, but we also donate 50% of all profits to underprivileged youth sports leagues around the country.

Our shop offers a range of sports-themed products that are perfect for siblings, parents, and fans of the game. From trendy apparel to unique accessories, we've got everything you need to show your support for youth sports!

How We Got Started

I'm Ethan, and at 8 years old, there are many things I would rather be doing than watching my brother Alex play sports and moving from field to field.

While my parents would give me some time on my iPad during games and tournaments, I needed to find other activities to keep me busy (and out of trouble).

I started making loom bracelets with my friend Bailey, and we would walk around the fields and sell them to fans of all the different teams. In fact, we would even look up the schedule to see which teams were playing to make sure we had the right colors with us.

We Kept Growing

The whole family started chipping in to help make bracelets, and soon I was selling them to neighbors, friends, and at a summer lemonade stand I set up with Alex. Business was booming!

One day, my mom suggested that we make a "real business" and sell more than just bracelets. Since dad is a marketing pro, he volunteered to help me get a logo and this website created. We even have an Instagram page to show off some of the cool products we are making (not that I am allowed to go on social media).

So whats next?

The Future Plans

I am super proud of my brother and I do like watching him play sports (in small doses). I hope he continues to play travel ball, as that gives me an opportunity to expand my business footprint to a lot of new teams.

I will keep making loom bracelets to sell at games, and at the same time, I will tell everyone about this site and the cool shirts and accessories we are creating. I even have stickers and postcards to hand out to people I meet on the fields!

While my parents said I can use a few dollars I make for the snack shack, the profits will be split between my college fund and donations to underprivileged nonprofit youth sports leagues.

Thank you for supporting me.
