    Default Soccer Training for Children


    Hi Guys,

    Benefits: Soccer training for kids offers numerous benefits if conducted correctly. Soccer provides an outlet for children to be physically active. Running on the soccer field helps kids burn off calories and pent-up energy, introducing them to a healthy lifestyle at an early age. Youth soccer also creates opportunities for children to grow in terms of social development and self-esteem. Kids learn to interact with teammates and coaches, and a positive sports environment can do wonders for a child's image. Youth soccer opens doors for talented young athletes to discover their abilities and hone their skills for the next level.

    Risks: Like in any contact sport, playing soccer may result in injuries ranging from bumps and bruises to sprains and broken bones. Serious injuries are uncommon, but there's always a chance something could happen. Intense physical activity may also pose problems for kids with health conditions such as asthma, so parents should consult a pediatrician before allowing their children to play. Competitive sports such as soccer also can generate a negative self-image and frustration for children if they do not have the proper support. Players lacking talent may be ridiculed by teammates, and some coaches may be too stern and demanding. Coaches must instill a culture of respect and positivity in their youth teams.

    Basic Skills: One of the primary elements of soccer training for children is teaching fundamental skills. Kids have to grasp the basics before they can mature as players. Coaches should help their players develop by drilling them on passing, shooting, dribbling and trapping the ball. Explaining the general tactics of attacking, defending and working as a team can also go a long way in improving young players.

    Fitness Training: Fitness training for youth soccer can be a delicate issue. You want to encourage fitness, but placing too much emphasis on it can be harmful to children from a physical and emotional standpoint. The degree to which coaches push players in fitness drills should depend on the age group and level of competition. Slightly older players may handle fitness drills better. Younger children should not be forced to run sprints or do tedious fitness drills that could discourage them. The emphasis should be on having fun and learning new skills. Design soccer-related games in practice that get kids to run.

    Best Regards
