Being the parent of an energetic 7 year old child. I was interested in finding an outlet for my child's ample supply of energy. Not unlike a lot of parents this day and age, I found myself looking into sports in my area, and found that the local soccer organization was holding registrations for our fall and spring soccer leagues. I have to admit, I was a bit apprehensive about signing my child up. The fact that I've heard many stories about aggressive parents being involved in assaults on coaches, children, and referees, was my primary concern. I was worried that the coach might be some drill instructor type of individual that took the fun out of the experience as well. The thought of what it my do to my child when goals were missed, games were lost, or they somehow made a mistake, was another worry of mine. Aside from all of my concerns, my child was very excited, and eager to give this a try, and I would be sure to keep my anxious feelings to myself. We are now in our second season of recreation league soccer and have found the experience much more than we hoped for. As a matter of fact, I have been fortunate enough to find a parents soccer guide that allowed me to teach my child many lessons relating to soccer and other important aspects of life.
You should put emphasis on the fun when getting involved in sports. We have become one of thousands of other soccer parents in this journey. A nutritious breakfast is an important part of early start. We dressed him in his royal blue and black uniform, complete with soccer cleats, shin guards and socks, and headed off for the 9:00 AM game. We found the soccer fields which were teeming with soccer players, coaches, parents, and onlookers. We found our son's field and set up our camping chairs on the sideline. Watching some of the other games of youngsters is an enjoyable experience. Some of the little players had been kicking soccer balls around since they could walk while others, like my son, had never seen a soccer ball before the first practice a few days earlier. Skill levels will be from shy and awkward, to the very quick reflexed and aggressive. We were pleasantly surprised as parents that our son seemed to have good mechanics and scored a couple of goals in that first game. When our first game was complete, we saw that our child was very happy and I wanted to make sure my reaction was approriate. Thoughts of what to say such as, "You won!", "Great job!", "Way to play!", came to mind. When she got to us the words came to me instantly, "I could see you were having a really good time out there!" He smiled enthusiastically and nodded vigorously, agreeing that he had indeed had fun. He has now learned that scoring and winning is fun, more fun in fact than losing. But, she never complains if her team loses, and has a great time on Saturday's either way. At half time, he can be seen kicking the soccer ball around while others are sitting on the sidelines. After the games are over and the fields have been cleared, she ofter wants to stay and play soccer for fun with any children still around. I am overjoyed that she has found this sport that she loves. She plays for the love of the game, and not just to win. How proud that makes me as a parent.
