Did you know that the sport soccer is a cure for lifestyle related diseases?

Yes it’s true!  Some children today are starting to get serious food disorders.

Soccer is a great way to stay active, and cure those diseases.

Soccer improves your strength, endurance, and flexibility.

Most of the time, you are running in soccer.

If you aren’t, then you're moving a lot.  If you are running and

moving, then you are most likely burning off a lot of fat.

I have even played soccer myself.

I think it is a great way to get children moving.

It can also burn off a lot of fat when you're jumping and running so much.  Soccer  is also a great way to have fun.

Instead of sitting at home and saying, “I’m bored!”,

you can be outside, running and jumping, and having

fun with your friends.

When I started playing soccer, I made lot’s of new friends.  It’s

very important to have friends when you’re playing

a sport because you need to learn to work as a team.  When you

work as a team you’re winning, having fun,
and being healthy!

Soccer helps you and I socially because,

you need a team to play soccer.  When you

have teammates,

they can easily become your friends.  I have

made many friends playing soccer.  When

you have friends

while playing a sport,
you can work together to win!

Soccer is very healthy, because it gets you active.

It is also very good for

your heart.

When you play a sport like soccer, you can

have soda and junk food.  You have to have fruit,

vegetables, and lotś of water to stay hydrated.  Not

only is soccer healthy for you and I, it is also very fun!
