⚽️ How many soccer practices a week are really enough for kids? 🤔

A lot of dads look back and remember playing soccer all day long — out in the streets, on grassy fields, from morning till dark, just for the fun of it. But there’s a big difference between how kids experience a casual game with friends and a structured practice.

🌟 Free play means total freedom. Kids try out new moves, get creative, and simply enjoy being in the moment. There’s no pressure, no expectations — just the pure joy of playing with friends.

🥅 Organized practices bring structure, discipline, and the habit of showing up. That’s important, sure — but only if we keep the spark alive. Practices should never feel like a chore. They should still be fun, still make kids smile, still remind them why they fell in love with the game in the first place.

🎯 The key? Don’t overdo it. Encourage them, support them, and help them fall deeper in love with soccer. A healthy balance between structured training and free, joyful play is what truly helps kids grow — both on and off the field.
