| Football is a fun activity for kids |
- Children will take up football if their parents or other adult has encouraged them to do so.
- Junior school age children are also affected by peer pressure and may be interested in playing football if their friends play.
- Television plays a big role in out children's lives and they may want to emulate the stars they see in the Premier League.
- There may be a club close by and the child is motivated what they have to offer.
- They may be interested in the lure of receiving trophies and medals for winning football matches and competitions.
Adults encourage children to play football also for a number of
different reasons. They may have played football themselves and want
to pass on their experience to the child or they may also have a nee
to fill a gap in their own footballing career and see the child as a
way of making for their own failures. Parents also understand both
the physical and emotional benefits children gain from playing a
team sport.
