Bring the World Cup home this summer. As one of the world’s most popular sports, soccer is a perfect summer activity for kids of all ages.
Following the excitement that will come from the 2010 World Cup, Popsicle – a sponsor of over 18,000 Canadian under-10 soccer players – shares soccer skills that will have you playing like a pro this summer.
• Warm-up: Don’t forget to stretch your muscles before any practice or game to make sure you don’t injure yourself on the field.
• Drills: Try out a variety of drills to learn about precision and the speed of the sport.
• Spacing: Make sure you have enough space around you to be able to maneuver the ball. And know where your teammates are on the field – this will help to make more successful passes.
• Come Equipped: Make sure to bring your towel, a large water bottle and a tasty treat to keep you hydrated and energized. Popsicle ice pops are a hassle-free snack that are great to have on-hand for a post-game treat.
Practice. Practice. Practice. And you’ll be sure to improve your soccer moves while having fun this summer. More information is available online at www.popsicle.ca.
