Why Soccer ?
When your child is 3 years old they are beginning to be interested in playing a sport that they might see on the playground, school field or on TV.
Soccer is an excellent beginning because it utilizes the largest muscle groups (the legs). Kids love to run, and soccer is all about running. The hard part is connecting running to running with a soccer ball. How can the kids learn to use a soccer ball in their fast-paced play?
Using you, the parent of the budding soccer star, as a coach, your player will quickly grasp the concept of moving with purpose. With a “coach” paired with each player, they get the one-on-one attention they need, and they have a ton of fun.
The entire group is lead by a “Professional Trainer” who issues instructions to the other coaches. The instructions will be easy actions, such as “Kick the soccer ball through your mom's or dad's legs and make them bring it back to you.” It's a lot of fun to make mom run like crazy; what they don't realize is that they're learning to target while maximizing power.
Team concepts are approached, but don't hold your breath that anything resembling soccer will appear! At 3 years old, kids play “at” soccer, they won't work together to play soccer. And that's OK! They can still score some goals, they can fly like airplanes afterwards in celebration, and they can high-five the nearest outstretched palm.
That's the fun part of soccer, isn't it and we guarantee it every Sunday !
