Play with your child. You don't have to have a soccer background to be able to facilitate practice games or exercises. Check for understanding. Ask children to explain what they have learned after practice or games. Ask children to demonstrate.
Children love to be experts, especially with their parents.
This reinforces their understanding of soccer skills. Check for challenge. A good coach can accommodate children of all skill levels, including one who is ready to move on to more advanced skills. If not, the coach should recommend a player change teams. Recognize the priorities.
