How to Encourage Kids to Be More Active (and to Put Down Their Electronics)

Are your kids spending more time indoors than outdoors? With the spring weather peaking out it's time to get them to head outside and enjoy the fresh air. With our upcoming Soccer Shots spring season we offer 30-45 minute sessions based on your child's age group focusing on soccer skills like dribbling, passing and shooting. Through fun games and positive reinforcement, children will begin to experience the joy of playing soccer and being active. We also highlight a positive character trait in each session such as respect, determination and confidence.

Each Soccer Shots session includes:

»  Activities that promote development in each early childhood domain

»  A theme of the day woven throughout the session and applied to each activity

»  Character words that are succinctly de ned and applied throughout each session (by

coaches and participants)

»  3 rules that emphasize the character words

»  An objective for each day’s session that describes the outcomes of the class

»  Ideas for differentiation that are provided for each skill or game, both individually and for groups of children

»  Opportunities for play and creativity

»  An emphasis on the development of soccer skills while having fun
