Soccer at the Park
The importance of soccer: it doesn’t only develops agility, speed and stamina, but also teaches children the importance of teamwork, so it can play an important part in your child’s physical and social development.
Dribbling and shooting the ball develops agility and coordination. Most activities at a soccer class require children to sprint after the ball and jog up and down the field, which are activities that build endurance and speed.
Soccer being a team sport, develops a child’s ability to cooperate and interact with other children. To move the ball up the field, players pass the ball, which requires communicating. These types of cooperative activities develop a child's social abilities.
Children who play soccer develop self-confidence and improved social skills. Compared to other individual sports, soccer puts less pressure on children.
Soccer encourages teamwork and communication, which allows a child to identify personally with team successes, rather than feel a need to outperform teammates to gain recognition.
