Preparing For Soccer Camps Together With Your Kids

By Barbara Price


Kids which likes playing soccer and are members of the school team want their performance in playing to improve. This helps them have more playing time from the coach, play more matches regularly and even contribute more in getting for their club a win. They would become more confident with their improved skills and help get drafter to future school teams.

This goal can be achieved by letting your kids go to camps where they would be trained by qualified coaches and practice what they learn with others. There are soccer camps Calgary that are available for them to attend and choose a reputable one. If your child is attending one and it is their first time then help them prepare themselves for this activity.

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 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 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.

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.

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.

Get your child and yourself an early sleep the night before so you will arrive at the venue with great attitude and excitement. Make plans for dinner or something to do with them after the camp. This would be a great opportunity to allow your child share all their accomplishments and memories.
