After the pandemic, we were desperate to find a place near home where my three-year-old son could burn off energy, play, and be around other kids. At that point, we weren\u2019t looking to raise an athlete, just for him to have fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the first few weeks, he\u2019d run off in the middle of practice, lose focus, and sometimes didn\u2019t even want to step on the field. What I appreciated most was that no one pressured us to commit. The focus was simply on whether he liked it, whether he found something that would make him want to come back on his own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And he did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Week after week, he started to fall in love with soccer, make friends of different ages, and learn things that go far beyond the sport: the value of friendship, the importance of losing with dignity, winning with humility, and enjoying the process as a team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
