On 15th May, we celebrated International Day of Families. We understand the importance of family, in fact, #TeamOrange is a diverse and fun family in itself! At Kixx, we aim, not only to teach children the skills of football but to bring families closer together through creativity and enjoyment of the sport. This Kixx blog aims to explore exactly how football lessons for kids can help bring your family closer.
Football is often regarded as the most popular ball game, possibly the most popular sport, in the world. So it is no doubt that so many families turn to watching it or playing it in order to bring them closer together. Football can be enjoyed by small children all the way up to the oldest generation in the family!
Whether you have a child attending a football academy for kids, or a grandparent following the World Cup from their armchair, football can help bring your family closer.
Football Lessons For Kids
Attending football lessons for kids can have so many benefits on both the child’s social skills and physical development but can also play a fantastic role in helping bring a family closer together.
Whether it be you attending classes with them, encouraging your child to participate in football lessons, whether by attending classes together, supporting their practice at home, or sharing your enthusiasm for your favourite team, can have a profound and positive influence on both you and your child.
Not only can you bond through the love of football, but being part of a football academy can teach children valuable lessons that can be transferred to home, with could bring even more happiness to important family time.
Football lessons can help children with:
- Listening Skills
- Making Friends
- Working as a Team
- Communication
And that is really just the tip of the iceberg!
Bringing Your Family Closer With Football
Like we mentioned earlier, whether you’re playing it or watching it, football is the most accessible sport in the world for a reason! If your child attends a football academy, there are so many ways that you can get involved and use it as a way to bring your family closer.
Football can be enjoyed by families from diverse backgrounds and varying demographics. Sharing the lessons of failures and the triumph of successes with children, through the love of football, is not only wonderful for a family making memories but a great way of encouraging bonding.
Football has so many events in the diary, the FA cup, World Cup and tournaments for both men and women across the globe. Connecting with your family and coming together for such crucial games in football is a great way of bringing you closer.
The reality of many parents’ days rarely break a mould; school runs, making meals, bed time routines, so why not try mixing it up by coming together through the love of football!
Football brings family together in so many different ways. Whether it be a love of the sport, the love of exercise in general, or just the food you can get at football matches! There is really something for the whole family.
