A mother detained for allegedly opening “sideline sangria station” at a youth soccer game

COLLIERVILLE, TN — Parents arriving at Rose Soccer Complex Saturday morning expecting Capri Suns and awkward small talk instead found what witnesses described as “a full-blown brunch winery experience with shin guards.”

38-year-old Brittany Calloway was reportedly escorted from a U-9 girls soccer game after allegedly setting up a folding patio bar beside Field 3 and selling “small batch mom juice” out of a monogrammed cooler during the first quarter.

According to witnesses, Brittany arrived at approximately 8:12 a.m. wearing oversized sunglasses, a floppy beach hat, and a shirt that read “IT’S CALLED SELF-CARE, KEVIN.” She allegedly unloaded a collapsible table, two fake ferns, and a handwritten drink menu from the back of a white Tahoe with a “Powered By Pinot” sticker on the rear window.

Authorities say the menu included:

• “Collierville Cabernet-ish” — $9
• “Minivan Moscato” — $11
• “Pinot Grigio & Childhood Trauma” — $13
• “Ref Whistle Riesling” — $15
• A complimentary refill for any parent whose child got put in as goalie “for character development”

Police say Brittany also had:

a battery-powered blender,
a ring light,
a Venmo QR code taped to a pumpkin spice candle,
and a Bluetooth speaker blasting early-2000s Kelly Clarkson on repeat.

One father told officers, “I honestly thought she was part of the tournament sponsorship.”

Another parent reportedly became concerned after her daughter asked, “Why does Chloe’s mom have a happy hour menu next to the orange slices?”

When approached by officers, Brittany allegedly insisted she “wasn’t technically selling alcohol” and claimed parents were simply “donating toward emotional recovery.”

“She was incredibly committed to the theme,” one officer stated. “She had punch cards. She offered us a loyalty program called ‘Sip Happens.’”

Witnesses say Brittany remained calm while being escorted away, though she allegedly attempted to hand out one final mason jar labeled “Silent Carpool Sauvignon.”

Despite the interruption, the Collierville Lady Fireballs went on to win 5-2, although several parents admitted they had absolutely no idea what the score was by halftime.
