The Soccer Ball is a fun way to celebrate all the coaches, refs, and players of the sport of soccer. The camaraderie, sportsmanship, and fun exercise is one of the highlights of childhood. It is also an excellent way for children to learn how to play together as equals on a team. For those who have never played, it is a good overview of what to expect. Hopefully they will become fans of the new national teams. After all, this was the original foot-ball!
