Storybook Soccer

Storybook Soccer helps keep your youngest children active and thinking during this unprecedented time in our lives. Children need physical and backyard focused activities to keep them growing and able to exercise anxiety & stress.  

Young children pick up on and are effected by parental and sibling stress. They do not yet have methods to exercise their primary and now, secondary stressors.

   

Cooperative physical family activity is the answer. Kids with no siblings will need activity based materials with less interaction with friends. Kids from bigger families with multiple children will need to focus on cooperative activities supporting family harmony.  Young kids will tire significantly and sleep restfully. 


There are three levels inside each story for the storyteller.  The cost benefit due to its repeatability reduces the cost to nominal. This project, creation, testing and refinement is 10 years in the making.

What is Storybook Soccer?

All Activities are Action Packed and Soccer Related

Activities Include:  Motor Skill Activities, Ball Familiarity Activities, Open Rapid Goalscoring Setup, Dribbling, and Shooting basics

Dear Coach Frank,
I apologize, this note is long overdue.  We were sorry to hear that the earthquake damaged your home, and our thoughts and prayers will be with you as you rebuild and move forward. More than that we want to express our deep appreciation for you and the class act soccer academy you’ve been running.  You have such a great rapport with the kids and the parents.  I appreciate so much the example you are setting for the youth and our community of healthy living and kindness, you are an excellent role model & fantastic coach!  We will definitely miss you this summer and hope to see you in the community and on the soccer fields in the future.  We hope that the earthquake repairs go smoothly.
Truly I cannot thank you enough!  You cannot know the lasting positive impact you have had in the lives of the many families you have worked with over the past years.  You and your program were an answer to prayers, just what we needed at the time that we needed it.  

Sincerely,

~ Shanda, Parker, & Corbin
