Football is the most popular sport in the world – with millions of players and fans from all over the globe. If you’re trying to think of ways to keep your younger children active and engaged, then you can’t go far wrong with considering football – as getting them involved from a young age can come with all sorts of benefits – physical fitness, mental development, social skills and discipline – and you never know, they might one day reach the top of the football betting odds … and be able to buy you a new house with the Premier League wage packets!

Whether they’re just having a kickaround in the back garden or actually joining an organised team, exposing them to competitive sports early on can have a hugely positive impact on their growth and development.

So, let’s look at all the reasons why getting kids into football at a young age is such a good idea.

Great for Physical Fitness and Health

One of the most obvious benefits is that it’s great for giving them a bit of exercise. Sadly, these days children spend a lot more time in front of screens than ever before, which can mean an increasingly sedentary lifestyle – potentially leading to obesity and all sorts of other health problems. Football gets kids running, helping them with endurance, agility, and coordination.

  • Cardiovascular Health: Running up and down the field is great for their heart and lung function.
  • Strength and Flexibility: Learning to kick, dribble, and jump helps with muscle strength and flexibility.
  • Improved Motor Skills: Because it can involve super-quick changes in direction, it’s good for balance, coordination and motor skills.
  • Healthy Habits: Kids who exercise from a young age get into healthier habits as they get older – and often establish fitness habits for life.

Social Skills and Teamwork

Football is also a team sport – so it needs constant communication and collaboration. When children play football, they have to learn social skills that can help them in all different areas of life.

Kids have to work together, learning how to cooperate and strategise – and it can really help them to develop better verbal and non-verbal communication skills as they interact in different ways with their teammates.

Children have to learn to respect and be patient with teammates, coaches, referees, and opponents – even when things aren’t necessarily going to plan, which is great for instilling good sportsmanship values.

Even more importantly, especially at that age, it can be a great way to make new friends.

Mental and Emotional Development

Playing football doesn’t just make kids stronger physically, but it can also contribute to their mental and emotional well-being. They’ll need to think quickly, make decisions under a lot of pressure, and be able to handle both success and failure in equal measure and with equal grace.

Football teaches kids how to think critically and make quick decisions on the field – and they have to learn how to deal with setbacks, whether it’s losing a game, making a mistake, missing a shot, etc, which is great for building resilience.

When they start learning new skills and getting good, it can be great for their confidence and self-esteem – especially if they help their team to success. And any physical activity releases endorphins which can release stress and improve.

Discipline and Responsibility

To get better at football, it takes commitment, practice, and self-discipline, which are qualities children need even outside of the world of sports.

Having to balance school, homework, training, and other activities is a great way to teach children the importance of time management – and committing to regular training sessions helps to instil a strong work ethic and perseverance. Moreover, understanding (and sticking to) the rules of the game can really help teach children all about the importance of discipline and fair play. And, when they start taking on roles like team captain or leading players can help them learn leadership qualities from a young age.

Lots of Opportunities and Career Paths

By starting them young, it can also open doors to all sorts of opportunities, whether it’s in professional sports or other related fields like physiotherapy.

Obviously, not all children will become professional footballers, but starting them young will definitely increase their chances of doing well in the sport. If they’re really good, there are plenty of colleges and universities that offer scholarships for the most talented football players, giving them both academic and athletic opportunities and even if they don’t make it to the Premier League, it could potentially lead to careers in coaching, sports management, physiotherapy, and broadcasting.

So, if you are thinking about getting your kid into football, it’s definitely worth it!
