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. We’ve all heard the horror stories about some overzealous parent being arrested for assault at children’s sporting events. I worried that my son might end up with a coach who approached the sport with a military drill sergeant enthusiasm, taking the joy right out of it for his players. 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. Fast forward to seasons and here we are, the experience of playing in the soccer league has been greater than we could have ever imagined. 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. We got up early and filled our son with a nutritious breakfast. We prepare our soccer uniform, cleats, socks, and shin guards, and headed off for the 9:00 AM game. Soccer players, parents, coaches, and spectator fill the soccer fields. We find the filed that our child is playing on and get setup on the sidelines. 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 will be amazingly quick and aggressive, while other are somewhat awkward and shy. 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 thought of all the things I could say to him…”Great game!!”, “Good job scoring!”, “You won, congratulations!” When she walked up to us, I knew what I most wanted to say, “It looked like you really had fun!” She was beaming, and gave us a very enthusiastic “YES! She now has the ability to realize that winning is certainly more fun that losing. He never complains about losing though and always seems to have fun at Saturday games. She often kicks the soccer ball around for fun during half time. After the field has cleared and the other players are packing up and leaving, he will stay as long as he can kick the ball with anyone who will kick it around with him. He loves the sport for the pure fun of it. He doesn’t play to win. He plays for fun. How happy I am as a mom that he has found a talent he loves and has fun with.
