What do children learn in soccer lessons?

Coaches immerse children in the exciting world of soccer. In beginner programs, kids participate in drills that teach them how to dribble, shoot, and pass. Intermediate programs build on these basic skills, educating kids on defensive and strategic playing. Teams are often divided based on children’s skill and age, and, during games, children play against teams of the same skill level.

Competitive and recreational teams are available. In competitive programs like house leagues, children are assigned positions on the field that play to their strengths. These include defender, striker, and goalie. Recreational teams are more relaxed, as kids cycle through all positions to learn different soccer skills. Children learn game rules and basic techniques in all programs.

Kids also adopt transferable sports skills from soccer lessons, such as balance, agility, and endurance. These skills can be useful if kids wish to pursue other sports such as basketball, hockey, or even dance. Recreational soccer programs are typically purchasable per lesson and start at $20. More advanced, semester-based programs can rise to $200+.

About advanced soccer clinics

Soccer clinics focus on an individual’s performance during practice and games. Coaches look for players’ strengths and weaknesses and deliver feedback accordingly. Games and scrimmages are always part of these advanced soccer lessons. Good sportsmanship is taught, encouraging kid to win and lose with dignity and humility. 

Why enroll in soccer programs?

Soccer programs offer children many mental and physical benefits. Here are a few of them:

  • Small team sizes. In beginner soccer lessons, children begin playing in small team sizes before working their way to larger teams. Children receive individualized feedback and instruction during lessons.
  • Mental health benefits. Fitness is a great way for kids to release endorphins. Running up and down the soccer field decreases stress hormones in the body. 
  • Recognition. Coaches’ evaluations magnify children’s successes. Children and teens are recognized for their achievements and improvement in skill. 
  • Soccer strategy. Strategy and problem solving are a soccer player’s best strength on the field. Playing soccer and learning about strategy improves kids’ play.
  • Make lifelong friends. Making new friends is a large part of the soccer experience. Team members grow to be friends. Competitions and tournaments are also a great way for kids to meet other soccer players from their region.
