Exercise is super important in staying healthy and feeling your best! You should break a sweat at least 3-5 times a week and soccer is a fun way to get exercise all year round! Even better, you can do it with friends. Playing as a team is the coolest kind of exercise!! Here’s how soccer helps you:

- Cardio! Running up and down the field is great for your heart and lungs. Bonus! All that running makes your legs super strong!

- Teamwork skills! Soccer is a fast-paced game, so you have to be totally in sync with your teammates.

- Hand-eye coordination! (Or should we say foot-eye coordination!) Soccer will really help your skills getting the ball to go where you want it to.

- Make friends! Being on a team and playing other teams is a perfect way to meet new friends. Maybe even your new BFF!

- Feeling awesome! Getting to have fun with friends and blow off some steam on the field will make you feel great!
