Why soccer?
Football, a team sport, teaches the children to live in society and to respect others, and at the same time awakens the team spirit in all its forms, such as the spirit of competition and self-assertion within a group. On a physical level, it is a complete sport that is particularly beneficial for health and gives the youngest a taste for physical exertion and endurance.
Aside from the numerous health benefits, soccer is a real school of discipline and rigor, but at the same time passion and joy that brings together many ingredients to make children thrive.
