Champion MVP Soccer · Ages 3 to 8

Let's Play Soccer

Kicking, passing, positions and the first practice, told through a kid who is nervous and comes back anyway.

Let's Play Soccer cover: the Champion MVP kids, their puppy and their coach ready to play soccer

How do I explain soccer to a young child?

Explain soccer to a young child as a team game where everyone works together to move the ball into the other team's net using only their feet. Start with three ideas: kick, pass, and stay with your team. Let's Play Soccer turns those ideas into a story a child ages 3 to 8 can follow.

Soccer book questions

What age is the Champion MVP Soccer book for?

The Soccer storybook is written for ages 3 to 8. Children ages 3 to 5 follow along through the illustrations while an adult reads aloud, ages 5 to 7 read it together with an adult, and ages 6 to 8 work through the puzzle book on their own.

When should I read the soccer book with my child?

The week before sign-ups or the night before the first practice. The story walks through what a first soccer practice feels like, including the nervous parts, so your child knows what to expect before they arrive.

Is there a free way to try Champion MVP soccer?

Yes. Champion MVP publishes free animated episodes on YouTube and free printable activity pages for classroom and home use. No account or sign-up is required for any free resource.
