Soccer is the fastest growing sport in the world! Kids who play youth soccer perform better academically on average than kids that do not play sports. Soccer helps develop important healthy lifestyle habits; reduce chances of behavioral issues; develop social skills; create a sense of community; inspire increased confidence; and enhance character development. Ultimately, youth soccer is a great way to make friends, enjoy the camaraderie of teams, and have a ton of fun!

These include enhanced concentration and attention as well as improved classroom behavior.” http://www.cdc.gov/healthyyouth/health_and_academics/pdf/pape_executive_summary.pdf
