I started playing soccer when I was 8 years old and have played for a competitive team since middle school. Personally I enjoy the competition, but sometimes it is also fun just to scrimmage my friends in a friendly game. What I really want to say is that soccer is great for anyone, not just for the competitive and highly skilled players, but for anyone looking to get exercise and have some fun.
In this article (
complete soccer guide) it list many great reasons for why children should play soccer or at least try it at some point. There are many plus sides that will benefit anyone mentally and also it is one of the only sports that requires very little equipment. This is one of the reasons I believe that soccer is the most popular sport in the world. All you need is a ball to start playing.
