I will not write here as a specialist soccer guru. My youngest son has just 8 yeas old and I saw him and his friends to ply soccer and thought: how he and all the kids learn to play soccer?
Well, frankly, is a mystery. And this mystery took me as an important question: how Brazil kids learn to play soccer?
I think it is not a simple answer to this question. In fact, if we knew the answer Brazilian soccer must never win the World Cup soccer. But as everyone knows, it is not fair.
However, there are things that intrigue us, not in Brazil because we have Pele, widely regarded as one of the greatest soccerer of all time, either because the Brazil soccer five times the world soccer champion.
This curiosity is when we see children playing soccer without shoes in the streets, improvised fields, earth, sand, gram, where, with a sort of dribble and set goals.
Ronaldo, Ronaldinho Gaucho, the two so-called best player World futboll, they played soccer with special skills since childhood. They are identified as a rising star.
What do they have other creature with millions of Brazilian children? I think this soccer start learning around 3 or 4 yeas old. I ask some children how they learned to play soccer and they told me it was with their fathers. Maybe at that age, they became aware of soccer skills. Anyway, I think the father and a ball as he introduced the boy to wake up soccer.
Today, we can also say that girls, to a lesser extent, are awaked for soccer. But the ratio of boys probably even greater.
On the other hand, soccer is a form of socialization of the child. There is a strong element so as to make new friendships, strengthen even older. And these friendships can also be considered an element of openness to the art of playing soccer.
When we look at small to play soccer and we find natural players, making his dribble, showing its affinity and ability with the ball, we have to imagine that beyond the soccer schools, the learning environment Internal been fundamental in learning these children.
In some ways, to play soccer with my son is very good and it takes me a sentimental player. My skills are not the same as when I was a child already, in my first time learning the art soccer. I remember playing soccer on the streets of my home. The memory came to me face my past. But these memories are gathered with my day, when I see my son to give me a dribble under my legs to score a goal and say he is a champion. Well, I think it is.
