The Tampa Bay Rowdies Summer Reading Program

The Tampa Bay Rowdies summer reading program focused on empowering the region’s youth through the joy of literacy. As part of the program’s first year, the Rowdies will work with local libraries, recreation and community centers, and other partners to make reading fun and accessible for children throughout the summer.

Children and students who participate in Score through Stories can earn free tickets to a Rowdies home match at Al Lang Stadium by reading a total of 12 hours over the summer. To participate, parents and students can download a Playbook Card at rowdiessoccer.com/score-through-stories.

Readers will mark off each reading milestone on the Playbook Card as they qualify for three different prizes. A parent or guardian must sign the Playbook Card as the child accomplishes each milestone. Participants can bring their Playbook Card to Great Explorations Children’s Museum in St. Petersburg, where a representative from the museum will sign their card and distribute reading prizes. Participants can also visit rowdiessoccer.com/score-through-stories to complete an online form and redeem their prizes. Reading prizes can be redeemed starting August 11. Those who redeem online will have their prizes mailed after that date.
