I grew up in Europe where soccer was the national sport.
My dad wasn’t a sports person but during the World Cup he would watch games on TV and I would join him.
When I moved to the US and especially after having my boys, I had to learn to embrace new sports. My youngest tried football for a while and now both my kids play basketball.

Soccer was originally known as “association football“. Newspaper people started referring to it as “assoc”, as an attempt to make the name shorter and in time it got even shorter and turned into “soc”. That became latter “soccer”.
The benefits of playing soccer for kids
Soccer, often viewed merely as a form of entertainment, offers numerous benefits for children.
Physical Health
As a sport that requires a blend of speed, strength, and coordination, soccer acts as a great workout for kids. It helps maintain a healthy weight, builds muscle, and improves heart health.
Teamwork
Soccer involves coordination and cooperation among team members. This fosters teamwork attitudes in children, teaching them the value of working for a common goal.
Social Skills
Through practice sessions and soccer games, children learn to communicate more effectively, developing their social skills. They also make new friends, boosting their social interactions outside the playing field.
Discipline and Focus
Soccer requires commitment to training schedules and a level of focus to understand and master the game tactics. This discipline can extend beyond the playing field and into other aspects of a child’s life.
