Observation Of A Soccer Field In Elementary School

Being a professional athlete is one of the most commonly heard dreams of a young boy or girl who currently elementary school. Whether it is realistic or not, these kids will be participating in the sport that they wish to thrive in. But, time after time we hear adults complain about their child’s insane soccer schedule, or how they have to spend their whole weekend traveling for games. The parents complaints shouldn’t be the topic of discussion, in fact the only opinions that matter are the children. The question shouldn’t be asking whether or not youth sports are too intense, it should be asking if it is worth it. If a child loves what they’re doing then they have every reason to continue playing their sport, but if they are not all in, he or she has to question whether or not all the craziness is worth it.

Each year in the United States, more than 36 million school-aged children participate in an “organized sport” (“Youth Sports Statistics”). Especially over the past few years, many studies have proved or disproved the idea that sports are beneficial for young kids. Those studies have found that youth sports have both positive and negative effects on young children, and research shows parents and coaches have the greatest effect on a child’s experience.

This soccer science fair project serves to acquaint students with basic information on how the amount of air in a soccer ball can affect the distance it travels when kicked with a consistent force. The greater the air pressure in the ball, the farther it will travel when a force is applied. In the process of conducting the research, the student will learn that atmospheric pressure may also affect how far the ball will travel. The student will learn about the relationship between air pressure and friction: the lower the friction, the farther the ball will go. The student will learn about concepts like air pressure, gravitational force, compression and expansion of air molecules, potential energy and kinetic energy. This science fair experiment

One thing almost every young child looks forward to is the activity of play. Kids love nothing more than to go outside, run around with friends, and get dirty. If children are already active at a young age, why not encourage them to continue by enrolling them in an organized youth sport program? Young people will gain many positive experiences by participating in organized physical activities, but none as important and influential as the social skills, physical skills, and mental skills developed and nurtured during their time in youth sport. As a result, the young participants can continue to build upon and cultivate these skills which will ultimately be transferred into their development as successful adults. Along with the social and

According to the National Association for Sport and Physical Education children at preschool level have difficulties focusing on things for more than an hour and should have tasks divided into 15-20 minute activities (Rock, 2017). This is true for most younger children as it will be easier for them to focus and gain more from each activity. They cannot perform either type of play alone as children should be supervised by an adult or reasonably aged older peer, or should be engaged with an adult or peer in the activity. Humans are social creatures by nature and it is even more true in younger children. Even side by side play is considered engaging with the child as even just sitting there with them is encouraging even if it is not immediately seen.

I was a trainer for a little league team for a little over a year until we lost the championships and many kids left the team. I trained them well with the help of my coach, which recently passed away 2 years ago. We pushed them to the limits. Their endurance was astonishing for kids of age 8 and under. My coach and I showed them how to work as one, to respect one another and to connect during the game so they can come up with a method on how to score on the opposite team. We played over 20 games and without uncertainty, we won roughly 12 or 13 games continuously. Everything we did was to win the game and push ourselves to the limit to attain what we desired. The whole team got a medal for being runner-up, but most of us were dissatisfied with the effort we gave. Many kids that left the team either joined a different team which would be able to show them different skills and trainings on how to become better and the others that stayed, exercised as hard, determined as ever to win the next

Regular season games are held on Saturdays at 3 p.m. and the teams practice on Tuesdays at 6 p.m. (North East Youth Soccer Organization, 2016). The coaching staff is trained and certified by the Special Olympics which provide coaches with the basic principles, techniques, and tools to effectively coach athletes with special needs. The program allows the players to learn how to play the sport as well as how to work together as a team and hosts a party for athletes and family at the end of every season.

Sixteen kids, twelve to thirteen years old, stand motionless on the grassy, green, soccer field: momentarily frozen in time, their fiercely determined faces set in concentration; one half dressed like giant bumblebees, in bright yellow jerseys, and knee-high soccer socks, and black Umbro shorts; the other half similarly attired in royal blue and black; the six foot referee stands at the mid-field white chalk line; black nylon cord hanging around his neck; and raises the small, silver, metal whistle to his lips.

Soccer is a great sport and the sport can be played both girls and boys sport. Also the sport can be played at a college level, Anybody can play it and it not that hard to play. Soccer in the most popular and most played in the world. Soccer should become a sport at SCHS.

After the warm-up, we break up into boys and girls and each head coach (Alec, Manny, Tevanah and Me) meet with each kids to review there spot, and how to shot the ball when playing basketball. We also talk about cabin dynamics, we interrupt and make adjustments to ensure every child is getting the maximum experience possible.

Eden Prairie Soccer has been a part of my life since I was four years old. All the experiences soccer has given me throughout the years helped make my mission trip to Haiti so successful. While in Haiti, football (soccer) is a huge form of entertainment among the children of the village we visited. The experiences the Eden Prairie Soccer Club has made it possible to connect with the children in Haiti through soccer. First, soccer has taught me many ways how to communicate on the field, through hand gestures, body language and verbal cues. In Haiti, there was a language barrier so hand gestures and body language became crucial when communicating to the children. These gestures were not just helpful when playing soccer, but also when playing

My first year of being a soccer coach at an Armenian private elementary school, I encountered a challenge that I never faced before, and that was to learn how to manage and organize the team players and their playing time. The real issue started after we started playing at their private league games which was organized by ASA (Armenian Soccer Association). After the third game I started noticing parents talking to my manager, and that was the moment I realized that there must be an issue. Moments after the parent left, the manager came up to me and said, “Some of the parents are complaining about their kids playing time, and they are wondering why they kid does not start the game or play”. Clearly, I could not have all of my players on the

INTRODUCTION BACKGROUND: When a child actively participates in sports, they are able to learn life lessons in a fun and positive atmosphere.

Practicing a sport can be highly beneficial to children, until it’s taken too far. Often called training now, children as young as six years old are participating in sports that require too much time. At that age, sports should be something fun to do and a favorable source of physical activity. However, whenever an athlete shows a hint of a talent, child exploitation occurs (Bean 10234). Between the ages of 7-12, adolescents should be learning identity, motives, beliefs, and values, but nearly all athletes are practicing 5 days a week with games every Saturday. This leaves no time or energy for hanging out with friends, homework, family time, and relaxation. Dr. Shane Murphy reports that if a coach or trainer sees talent in a young child, immediately they are convincing the
