Soccer Fever, Children and Football Shoes

Posted by daviddon on August 8th, 2015

Are you surrounded by soccer afficandoes, whether pre teenagers or mature men who go ga ga on hearing the name Lionel Messi? It's the soccer madness which has taken over the world. The planet's biggest played game is now witnessing it's once in every four years held World Cup. The venue as we all know is the Latin American beautiful Brazil. Anyone and everyone who is soccer mad is heading this summer for this incredible country to witness the matches. Do you know anyone who has been there?
One of the biggest falls out with this daily mania about soccer on TV and newspapers and of course the mandatory social media is the high level of interest in this game among children. Coinciding with the school holidays one can easily spot a large number of kids unfortunately mostly boys take to open patches and fields to kick the ball around. This time around the kids are not enamoured with India's main love - Cricket. Nor are they restricted to being couch potatoes and just watching a lot of TV during their breaks. The game has many benefits for your kids and here we list them out for you to savour.
Soccer develops agility, speed and stamina, and also teaches children the importance of teamwork, so it can play an important part in your child's physical and social development. Many communities offer soccer leagues for a variety of ages and skill levels. Playing with a soccer team develops a child's ability to cooperate and interact with other children. To win a soccer game, the whole team must communicate and work together. Defensive positions must support the midfield and offensive positions during attacks on the opponents' goal. Offensive positions must return to their own goal to help the defensive positions when they are under pressure from the other team.
Since soccer has an emphasis on the success of the team as a whole, rather than the success of individual players, it is a sport that less athletically inclined children will enjoy. Compared to such team sports as baseball, which requires players to bat or field a ball alone, soccer puts less pressure on children. Soccer encourages teamwork and communication, which allows a child to identify personally with team successes, rather than feel a need to outperform teammates to gain recognition.
