Preparing Together With Your Kids For Soccer Camps

By Barbara Price


Kids who like playing soccer and a member of their school team wants to improve their performance when playing. This helps them be chosen by their coach to play regularly on matches and contribute more for their club to win. Their improved skills would also make them more confident and could help them in getting into the team in their future schools.

Achieving this goal can be done through your kids going to camps where qualified coaches will train them and practice the things they learn from them. Soccer camps Calgary are available that they can attend to so choose one that has a good reputation. And if you have chosen one already, help your child in preparing for it specially when this is their first one.

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, even weeks before, to avoid being stressed and forgetting some things and do this together. Check the list of what to bring provided by the management and slowly fill their bag and buy those you do not have. Doing this early will not only avoid those unhealthy emotions but give you time to visit the store when needed.

Advise them to have something from home that makes them feel comfortable brought such as stuffed animal, pillow or photo so they would still feel at home. Set goals together about what achievement they plan to have during the camp like improving soccer skills or making new friends. Ask about their goals and their progress when you call them.

Have a plan of communication ready and discuss this with your child so they would be clear about what the expectations are. Many opportunities will be given to you for checking them in without their camp experience being jeopardized. Have short conversations with them through cellphone so they could go back into 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.

Have an early sleep on the night before the activity so you are fresh and excited when you wake up. Make plans after the camp ends like dinner. Give this chance for your child to share their memories and accomplishments there.
