We are frequently asked: "How can I help my young child become a better soccer player?"

Well obviously one important step is to get them into a strong development-focused program like Nortac, but no matter how great the coach or program is, the biggest factor that will influence your child's development is what they do on their own at home.

It's all about proper touches on the ball and lots of them. Nortac Soccer Mod Academy is introducing a program called "Play at Home", which will include videos and other information about how you can play soccer with your child in a way that will help them develop the comfort on the ball that they need to succeed on the field.

In school, your kids get Homework. But soccer should be PLAY and not work, so we have developed some Home Play assignments.

These are simple activities that are fun and challenging for kids of all ages, and we have found that most young kids absolutely love playing these games with Mom and Dad.
