Watching soccer is such a hoot! Whether they’re 5 and buzzing in every direction (often the wrong one) in pursuit of the elusive orb, or if they are 25 and charging determinedly down the field, shouting an insult in one direction and an order in another, ‘futbol’ is often just one comedic moment after another. The beauty of soccer, and the reason it’s so favored, is that it’s an easy game to understand. Two goals, one for your team and one for mine. I’m trying to get the ball in yours, you’re trying to kick it into mine. Feet and heads only. Pass to your teammates, because they are there to help. Put the ball in the goal and… the crowd goes wild!
Because of its ease of play and the many fields our cities have available for teams, the game’s popularity has grown exponentially in the last decade. Our amazing Florida weather and the more widespread coverage of FIFA and the World Cup have also helped to boost local families’ fondness for soccer. With programs for every age group, soccer encourages teamwork, physical skills and mental acuity. Life lessons in many areas are learned, practiced and put into play both on and off the field. Whether you’re in it to build a professional career or would like to make new friendships and have some real fun, soccer is always the perfect choice for everyone’s lifestyle.
