Preparing Together With Your Kids For Soccer Camps

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.

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.

Let them know your plans of going into camping area so they will get ready including going there days before for familiarizing the place better. Ask the management to allow you a tour of the location and show them their lodging and practice areas. Emphasize that anything of importance will not happen at home when they are away.

Show confidence on them that they would excel and thrive at camp because doing so helps them be confident too and increase chances of success. They can learn more concerning themselves, meet new people and try new things there. Discuss with them if you both feel nervous and have them understand how excited you feel for them in experiencing new things.

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.

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.

Making new friends to other campers should be encouraged as much as possible because others came from different states or even countries. They can learn about the other campers more including their lives and experience with soccer that are helpful in making connection to others. Encourage having a continued connection with them even when the camp ends.

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.
