Preparing For Soccer Camps Together With Your Kids

By Barbara Price


Kids that like to play soccer and members of school team want to improve their playing performance. This helps them get chosen more often by the coach to play on matches regularly and contribute more to get a win for their club. Their improved skills will also make them confident more and could help in getting them into the team of their future schools.

This goal can be achieved by letting your kids go to camps where they would be trained by qualified coaches and practice what they learn with others. There are soccer camps Calgary that are available for them to attend and choose a reputable one. If your child is attending one and it is their first time then help them prepare themselves for this activity.

Get them ready by letting them know the plans on going into the camping area and you could drive them there days before to help them familiarize the surroundings. You can ask the management to have a tour and show them where they would be staying and practicing. Emphasize that nothing important will happen at home that they would miss.

Show your confidence of them thriving and excelling at the camp which helps them to more likely succeed there. They can meet new people, try new things and learn more about themselves there. If they or you feel nervous then talk about these emotions with them and let them understand that you are also excited for them to have new experiences.

Start packing early together to avoid stress and having to forget some things even weeks before their activity starts. Check the list provided by their management on what to bring and fill their bag slowly with them and buy the ones you lack. Avoiding unhealthy emotions is not the only reason for doing this early but also more time is available for you to complete the list.

Advise them in bringing something which will help them feel at home and comfortable even when far from your house such as a pillow, photo or stuffed animal. Set goals together concerning what they plan to achieve during camp such as making new friends or improving soccer skills. When you call them there, ask for progress of these goals every time.

Ready a communication plan and discuss it with your child and make it clear to them what to expect from these calls. Numerous opportunities are given for you to check in on them without the camp experience they have being jeopardized. Short conversations are enough using the cellphone which allows them to get back to making new friends.

Encourage them in making new friends with other campers as many as possible because some came from other states or countries even. They can learn more about the lives and experiences in soccer of other campers which helps them connect to different kinds of people. Encourage them also to keep the connection even after the camp has ended.

Get your child and yourself an early sleep the night before so you will arrive at the venue with great attitude and excitement. Make plans for dinner or something to do with them after the camp. This would be a great opportunity to allow your child share all their accomplishments and memories.
