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.

Achieving this goal could be done by having your kids go into camps where they will be trained and have practices under the supervision of a qualified coach. There are some soccer camps Calgary which are available for your kids to attend to and a reputable one must be chosen. After choosing though, preparing for it is needed specially when this is the first time your child will have.

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 that they will be excelling and thriving at the camp because it helps increase their changes of succeeding. They can try new things, learn more regarding themselves and meet new people there. If both of you feel nervous, discuss these emotions to let them understand on how excited you are for them to experience something new.

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 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 your communication plan with them and discuss the expectations that both of you have about these calls. You are given numerous opportunities in checking up on them while avoiding to jeopardize their camp experience. Make your conversations short so they will be able to get back in making new friends again.

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.

Sleep early the night before and have and excited and great attitude in the morning. Make plans for the night after the camp ends. Give them the opportunity in sharing every accomplishment and memory they have gained.
