Getting Closer to Your Child's Experience: The Soccer Story CD is especially valuable for you, a parent of a child participating in Step Up To Soccer. These stories provide some neat insight into the type of day to day interactions that take place in our classes - both between the coach and the children and among the children.

Insight into our Curriculum: many of the games mentioned in these stories - Obstacle Course, Owls and Rabbits, Follow the Leader and Score Goals - are games that your child plays in class. So through reading these stories you are gaining an understanding of how we structure your child's class, and insight into you child's experience.

The look and feel of Step Up To Soccer: From the style and color of the t-shirts, to the bricks and cones and hula hoops in the Obstacle Course - this is really how our program looks and feels. To your child, these illustrations will be absolutely incredible - to read a book full of pictures that are so, so familiar...it will be like reading a book about ... their own life!

Use these stories: to talk with your child about their experiences in Step Up To Soccer. Young children may not always be able to verbalize what happens at school in a way you can understand - these stories should help them to do so - spend some time reading them together, and then go from there...
