In the United States, soccer has become a hit only recently, well, compared to old American favorites baseball and American football. However, the trend shows the ever-increasing popularity of the sport in the country. The Major League of Soccer, or MLS has been gaining traction and attracting top talent all over the world, and the U.S. Men’s Football team, though failing to qualify for this year’s World Cup, is still being supported by a great number of Americans.

In New York City, there are a number of places in which parents can bring their kids to play soccer. There are turfs for summer soccer school, and indoor facilities for children who want to try futsal. Parents too, are learning that there’s much more to soccer than just being something that keeps their children busy for the summer.
As with a lot of team sports, soccer is a way for children to experience being part of a larger group. Summer soccer camps allow kids to assess their own strengths and personalities. Kids tend to discover if they’re tough enough for defense, if they have a penchant for passing the ball around, or if they have the quickness and skill to score goals. Children also get used to physical training and learn to appreciate “The Beautiful Game.”
