GOALLLLL!!!!!

The sound of the announcer screaming goal is ringing in everyone’s ears…

The crowd is going crazy as the game winning score is made with only seconds left…

And on the field, the forward who is now the national hero runs towards the adoring fans…

sliding on his knees with his arms outstretched and his head back in victory…

while his teammates mob in…

Practice celebrating with your kids

Yup, this happens all the time. But do you have your team or your child practice it?

Everyone needs to know what it feels like to score and to celebrate an outstanding shot. Not everyone is going to be able to do it…but everyone should know the feeling.

And if they don’t know the feeling, they are less likely to do it.

Occasionally have your players take a shot on goal. When they make it let them create their own celebration victory dance.

They can make it as wild as they want. Let their teammates get in on it too.Make it as much fun and real as possible.

Youth soccer players need to know what it feels like to celebrate. After doing it a few times as a kid who knows where it could lead…they might be doing it someday on international television!

Imagine how that would feel!!!

Working with kids is challenging. Especially if you’re a new coach or parent and looking to improve your kid’s soccer skills. There are lots of great books and programs on what and how to do it.

One program which should be in your library on developing kids soccer fitness and athletic skills is Athletic Skills for Soccer. When kids are athletes they will learn faster, be quicker and are more likely to continue to play into high school and beyond.
