Football for children (5-16 years old)

Football training at Rusich Club takes place at the Palladium Stadium in Pattaya.

Football is the perfect sport for kids. Football classes teach children to play in a team and share not only victories but also defeats with team players. The child will be able to show leadership qualities and release the accumulated energy. This sport contributes to the development of endurance and speed. In addition, football is a relatively budget sport that is accessible to many people.

Football loves active! If your child does not sit still for a minute, and he is ready to tirelessly rush like a hurricane all day long – football is for him! An extrovert, emotional, impulsive, and open – the ideal type of character for a football player. However, since football is a team game, the child must be able to reckon with the opinions of others. Undoubtedly, the coach will teach you to play in a team, but to wean off being capricious and offended is already the concern of parents.

There are football sections where children aged 3-4 years old are accepted. However, football for three or four-year-olds is not yet a sport, but just an outdoor game. At such a young age, coaches with children perform physical exercises with the ball, which are aimed at developing coordination, agility, and improving motor skills. Physical skills and endurance are necessary qualities for a football player.

The most optimal age for a child to start playing football is 6-7 years. But even if your child is 9-10 years old, you can start playing football seriously and achieve high results. If at the age of 3-4 years, the desire to introduce a child to football belongs to the parents, then at school age the child himself, consciously, shows his desire not just to kick the ball in the yard, but to play football seriously. It is worth supporting such an initiative!

Of course, not every child will make a career in football. But, even if football becomes just a hobby and not a goal in life, it will give a lot to your child:

• playing in a team will teach you to show leadership qualities and build relationships with peers.
• football is a great way to develop willpower and learn how to achieve goals.
• it is impossible to master the skill of possession of the ball without perseverance and diligence, which will come in handy in life.
• playing football will make the child physically developed, dexterous, and fast.

Football is an accessible and exciting sport that is suitable for almost every child. Passion for football at an early age will be an excellent foundation for success not only in football but also in other sports and just in the normal life of a child.
