Preparing Together With Your Kids For Soccer Camps

By Barbara Price


Kids who like playing soccer and a member of their school team wants to improve their performance when playing. This helps them be chosen by their coach to play regularly on matches and contribute more for their club to win. Their improved skills would also make them more confident and could help them in getting into the team in 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.

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.

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.

Encourage them to make new friends as plenty as possible with other campers because some are from different countries and states. They could learn more regarding the lives and the experience in soccer that other campers have which helps them in connecting with various kinds of people too. Encourage to keep ways on contacting their new found friends.

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.
