Matthew is totally in awe with football as he is always on his Xbox playing FIFA and of course with his character as the famous Messi footballer in either a Barcelona or Argentina game against the much dreaded Ronaldo (in his mind) as he won the golden boot in 2016.
If Matthew could play this virtual game with so much passion, why not the real deal.
On searching the internet for clubs, I realized there were several out there, they all looked good but how do we choose? In the end we settled for the one who began conducting classes at his school on a weekday - SKHY. The coaches were well trained and brought a new level of discipline to Matthew's world. The registration process was simple. The lady was extremely pleasant and allowed Matthew to change into the uniform immediately to join the class with the rest of children. Yes there were girls too on the team and they were better than some of the boys!
A few weeks into the program and SKHY had arranged a friendly tournament with another club. Matthew was selected to play and it was all he could talk about for a week. Every night he would watch YouTube highlights of games Messi played in, as if to get tips for the upcoming game. This was fascinating to see, he was enjoying himself running up and down and interacting with the other kids.
See below for SKHY's contact information. Do you know of any other great football clubs for kids?

Helpful site, tried it myself on my nephews, and I agree with the benefits of the sports as opposed to virtual game

ReplyDeleteA very popular sport in the Caribbean. Clinics and workshops should be arranged for children as young as 4 or 5 years of age
