Soccer is a really good and fun sport to play.

Soccer is a really good sport because it is good for your body, helps you have better sportsmanship, and is enjoyable.

It helps kids learn life strategies that can guide them off the field, they 

learn how to respect themselves, how to manage anger, and how to value other people.

Soccer encourages friendship in kids so the kids have fun and also make friendships at the same time.

Finally, soccer utilizes many body parts; lower body strength is required for running, jumping, kicking, and speed. Upper body strength is necessary for throwing the ball in from out-of-bounds and for heading or shielding the soccer ball. Playing soccer regularly strengthens muscles throughout the entire body.

Some people might not like soccer because it needs hard work, running, skills, and body strength. But the most important is practicing because practice makes perfect and it is good because it gives you strength, lowers body fat, makes you more athletic, and makes you faster.

A good solution to show people how good soccer is is to have more soccer programs/ opportunities at schools or soccer camps. Also, a really good organization is Kidsports. A lot of people try it, including me, and it has a lot of teams where you can play against other teams and also train. Finally, a good thing about soccer is if you go pro in soccer and become international you could get insane amounts of money, and a lot of people around the world would recognize you, which is insane to think about.

More people should try soccer and see how good soccer is.
