Though soccer may not be considered a national pastime, it is still a very popular sport — especially with the youth. There are approximately 8,2000 youth soccer clubs in the U.S. today. It is estimated that 60% of American youth play sports outside of school. In addition, more than 21 million kids ages 6 through 17 play sports both in and out of school. Soccer is one of the many popular sports kids of all backgrounds come together to enjoy.
Like all sports, soccer instills in children valuable lessons they will need later in life: discipline, integrity, hard work, honesty, respect, teamwork, and diligence. It is these qualities that make for an excellent soccer player. Youth soccer leagues both in and outside of school realize the players’ potential, and playing against other teams shows them what sports are all about.
But what if it can go further. Literally.
World soccer tours for youth leagues is a novel way of encouraging soccer as well as showing children all the world has to offer. It goes without saying that outside of the United States, soccer is one of the most popular sports in modern history. It has a fan base of millions of people, and has leagues and tournaments on all the world’s continents (with the exception of Antarctica). What better way of teaching kids the intricacies of soccer by taking them on a tour to a country that practically lives it.
Scotland soccer tours, for example, is a wonderful experience for up-and-coming soccer players to have. Who wouldn’t want to play soccer in Edinburgh? Planning a soccer event is not difficult at all. There are quite a few organizations that specialize in Portugal soccer tours, among many other countries. In organizing a trip overseas, you can give young soccer players an opportunity they will cherish for a lifetime.
