about us

 

Hi, I'm Mel! A sports mom, creative entrepreneur, and the founder of Mamas on the Sidelines.

If there's one place you'll usually find me, it's on the sidelines. Cheering at soccer games, volunteering at school events, organizing fundraisers, or connecting with the incredible community of parents who spend their weekends supporting their kids. Like so many moms, I've learned that the sidelines are about so much more than sports, they're where lifelong friendships are made, communities come together, and unforgettable memories happen.

After more than 20 years in graphic design, branding, printing, and event production, I decided to combine my professional experience with my greatest passion: supporting the families, schools, teams, and organizations that make our communities so special.

That's how Mamas on the Sidelines was born.

More than a custom apparel company, Mamas on the Sidelines is a creative brand built for the people who show up. We celebrate the parents who wake up before sunrise for tournaments, the volunteers who make events happen, the coaches who inspire, the teachers who encourage, and the businesses and organizations that bring communities together.

Whether you're creating spirit wear for your team, launching a fundraiser, planning a tournament, celebrating a milestone, outfitting your business, or simply wanting something fun to wear on game day, I'm here to help bring your vision to life.

Every project is thoughtfully designed to reflect your story and create something people are genuinely excited to wear. From custom apparel and hats to banners, signs, drinkware, gifts, and promotional products, my goal is to create pieces that become part of your memories...not just another t-shirt.

As a small, woman-owned business, I believe in personal service, thoughtful design, and making the process easy from start to finish. Whether you need one item or hundreds, I'll work alongside you to create something that feels uniquely yours.

Thank you for supporting my dream and my family. Every order allows me to continue doing what I love while raising my own kids from the sidelines.

Here's to the early mornings, the road trips, the team dinners, the championship games, and all the moments in between.

Welcome to Mamas on the Sidelines!! Where community, creativity, and team spirit come together.
