As parents, you will always want the best for your child, which is why you encourage and support your children. But sometimes problems can arise if you persistently direct them to where you think they will be best.

Steps

1. 1 See if your child has a talent for football. You can tell this if he or she knows how to dribble (hold the ball to the foot) and serve it accurately.
2. 2 See if your child is interested in sports. Ask if he would like to play football or something related to him.
3. 3 Encourage their interests by example of your own. (Watch football together, play together). Sometimes creating (starting) a league of their own will help a child enjoy the game.
4. 4 Send them to a sports camp or school and watch for a few days to see if your child likes it. If not, don't force it.
5. 5 Enroll your child in the fall soccer league. In some cities, there are two leagues, in the spring and in the fall, but since autumn is the season of football, it is better to go in the fall and find the best coach.
6. 6 Support them and be with them, even when they are not doing well. Remind, however, that this is just a game and that winning is not the main thing. The longer they try their best and have fun, the longer you will be proud of your children.
7. 7 Learn and become a coach. Your child will find that they can play with you more often or play on their own when you are not around. Training to become a coach in a junior soccer league is not very expensive and will take 3-4 hours.

Tips

• It is a good idea to try and enroll your child in the soccer league when they are young so they can develop and play better.
• Praising your children when they do well, on or off the field, will give them confidence and they will learn new things.
• Enroll them in courses in which they will develop their abilities, and not learn how to get trophies.
• Help your child understand that football is played as a team, not that one player plays for all.
• Ask if your child wants to stand in a certain position, and if so, work with him on it. For example, if he wants to be a goalkeeper, train with him.
• If they do well in sports, praise them and tell them that they are as good players as Pele or Beckham.
• Talk to your son / daughter if they lost and ask what else they did besides that.
• Get or buy 1-2 soccer books and read them, then share the new information with your child. Do not overload them with unnecessary information, because of this the child may no longer want to play.
• Teach your child to respect the judge, opponents and coaches, treat them with respect and goodwill. Watch the World Cup players shake hands, swap shirts, and even hug their rivals.
• Do not shout at the child “do not play in this position”, the coach may have told him to play that way.

Warnings

• If children are not interested in sports, do not force them.
• During the game, let the coach give advice; your task is to root for the child.
• Do not overdo it with praise, it will only annoy the child.
• Do not point out every mistake, the child himself must know where he made a mistake.
• Do not call him from the field during the game. This will lead to resentment and resentment.
