Sports, Marge Simpsons once said, is a very small part of life. well, not in America it isn’t.
Americans love their sports from an early age. In 2013, for example, an estimated 7.7 million high school kids played at least one sport. Football, baseball, basketball, and hockey have huge fan bases in the U.S. — and those are only four sports. Americans, it seems, cannot get enough of athletic events.
Then again, neither can the rest of the world. People of all nations and continents love sports. Whether they are multi-billion dollar sport leagues or simple street-level games, sports and the industries tied to them have plenty of customers and players to keep the ranks filled.
Some athletes even take it further. Though soccer (or football as it is known to the rest of the world) isn’t as popular as football or baseball, it is still widely-played, especially in high school. Young kids love to play soccer. Not only is it great exercise, it imbues in children the values of teamwork, honesty, patience, hard work, integrity, discipline, and the other tenets of sportsmanship. High school soccer teams across the U.S. — in every field, in every school — have a lot to contribute to America’s youth.
With soccer tour packages, young soccer players can take their experience to the next level. That is, internationally.
