Is your child the normal sort? Does she or he like to run about, climb on the monkey bars, swing about the merry-go-round and loves a ball. Which team sport are you going to sign him/her up for? I recommend soccer. Why soccer? In the world of soccer there is room for everyone. Everyone plays. That is the great attribute of youth sports. You don’t have to be good to play. Skill level is not a factor. Players are rotated in and out according to specific guidelines. Each player gets at least half a game to get a foot on the ball. And when they do? The whole family goes to CHUCK E CHEESE.
Soccer is an easy game to learn. The young beginner can learn it easily, both by practicing the drills, and by observation. Most of the younger teams play a version my husband and I like to call «swarm soccer.» We are amused and delighted by the efforts these young players give to just getting the ball down the field, all together. There is generally little or no passing, and the strategies and skills of the older player are still a few years off. But the team does drive the ball down the field, and everyone is part of scoring a goal.
The health benefits of soccer are these: increased fitness due to the nearly constant motion and activity required by running up and down the field. I have heard it called a heart-healthy game. Increased strength, flexibility and endurance are a few other benefits of this sport. Playing outdoors is also a big plus. Improved coordination results.
Soccer is a good team learning experience. Learning how to be part of a team takes practice. Making friends, practicing passing drills, being part of a team effort, the young player learns that life is not a solitary journey. The young player will begin to appreciate the concept of sharing the ball and receiving help as a positive aspect of winning.
Soccer requires little more than a ball and a few friends. It can be played one’s whole life. In time, the game becomes more complex, the skill levels more advanced. Enrolling your child in a program that is carefully managed, with the focus on the child’s enjoyment and development will yield long-term benefits, both physically and mentally.
