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. As many parent find, our local children's soccer organization was going to be holding open registrations for the soccer leagues that run through the fall and spring. I found myself somewhat nervous over the prospect of signing him up. I've seen the stories in the news where some overly fanatical parent gets arrested at a recreation league sporting event for assaulting another parent, referee, coach or child. 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 have now been involved in our local soccer league for two season, and the experience has been much more enjoyable that we could have ever 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.
Making it fun, is the primary goal with 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 prepare our soccer uniform, cleats, socks, and shin guards, and head out the door for our morning 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 kids have been kicking around soccer balls since they were in diapers, and yet most only began playing after they joined the soccer league. Some were quick with the ball and had excellent reflexes. Others were aggressive towards the other team and some were shy and awkward. Most children adapt pretty quickly to the mechanics of the game and may even score a goal or two in their first game. After the very first game, our child was smiling from ear to ear, and I thought it important to be sure to make my reaction carefully. I carefully considered all of the accolades that I could bestow her, such as "You did it!", "Nice win!", "Nice goals you scored!" However, when he came up to us I decided the thing I most wanted to reinforce was, "You look like you had so much fun!!!" She was beaming, and gave us a very enthusiastic "YES! Now she realized that losing isn't nearly as fun as winning. But, she never complains if her team loses, and has a great time on Saturday's either way. Many times during half time, I see her kicking the ball around while some of the ohter children sit 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.
