Around the ball
The ‘Around the ball’ program aims to lay the foundation for a healthy lifestyle among young children.
The program is suited for children aged 6-8 as it teaches young children the most basic life skills.
The program demonstrates how, alongside physical activity and the development of motoric skills, the world of sports can be used as an experiential tool for personal development. Some examples of subjects taught are ‘know your body’, ‘cooperation’, ‘ambition and competition’, ‘imagination and creativity’.
In a nutshell:
- Ages 6-8, all over Israel.
- Weekly professional soccer practices and social meetings
Main learning goals include:
- Develop precise motoric skills.
- Gain first understanding into moral values.
- Learn to work in team settings.
