Soccer is the most popular sport in the world and has literally become a mass phenomenon. The game of soccer involves two teams of eleven players, a referee, a ball and two goals. The objective of the game is to put the ball in the old onion bag using your feet or your head. The only player allowed to touch the ball with the hands is the goal keeper.

Soccer also known as football in Europe is a great outdoor activity for kids. The continuous nature of the game makes it great for fitness and cardiovascular health. Soccer helps increase the aerobic capacity of children and helps burn excess calories that can be consumed at a young age. Soccer is one of the greatest enemies of children obesity.

The physical demand of soccer also lowers body fat and also develops and improves muscle tone. Can PlayStation do this? Not only will Kids Soccer build strength, it will also improve the child's flexibility and endurance while developing bone strength.

The nature of the game is generally a non-contact sport which reduces the chances of your child getting hurt. It teaches your child co-ordination and promotes good social skills like Team work and sharing. There is no better way for players to make new friends and meet different people from different backgrounds.

Not only will Kids Soccer increase fitness, it will also increase skills such as concentration, persistence and self discipline. Inevitably participation in Soccer will lead to an increase in confidence and self-esteem and reduce the effects of anxiety.

The best part of Kids Soccer is that it requires very little equipment. A soccer ball and two knees that bend are the requirements. You have two choices, your kid could be another obese statistic or he might be the next David Beckham.
