More than 21.47 million American children ages six through 17 play team sports. Although organized sports easily enrich children and teenagers’ lives, there are ways parents can do even better. Enrolling school-age children in global soccer tours can continue to hone their athleticism and team-oriented skills, while also giving them a once in a lifetime cultural experience. Here are some specific reasons you should seriously consider letting children take part in some of the best sports tours, including international soccer tours.
Tournaments Build Serious Athletes
Training for and taking part in tournaments is a big deal. Participants of all ages may have entirely unique opportunities, like the opportunity to play in professional venues. Even youth soccer tournaments may end up taking place — at least for one or several legs of it — in a world-famous arena. Most importantly, playing tournament-level soccer builds lifelong skills. Kids will learn discipline and teamwork. Kids will continue a develop a passion for athleticism that can come in handy later in life. These children, for example, are much more likely to continue on to apply for athletic scholarships and ultimately pay less for a college education.
International Soccer Tours Provide Unique Cultural Experiences
International soccer tours may travel to several different countries. Soccer players may travel all across North America — or even embark on travels to more distant locations, like Spain and Holland. Whatever the case may be, children get the unique opportunity to do something they love while learning about other cultures. Family trips or even study abroad programs give people a greater understanding of one particular country or nation. These tours, on the other hand, give kids a glimpse of several different countries.
Sixty percent of American children play extracurricular sports. Only a very small percentage of American youth can say that they have embarked on international tours to compete in global soccer tournaments. Help kids get the experience of a lifetime by enrolling them in life-enriching international soccer competitions.
