'Sunday Soccer' with kids at the 'Maitreya ki Paath-shaala'













Had a great time with kids in the colony today morning. Soccer is a great game...perhaps the most simple as well as most comprehensive in terms of developing a child! The development of co-ordination skills in children is very important. A game like soccer is very easy to play...just about anywhere...but the skills required evolve over a period of time. As a child dribbles through a maze of defenders his brain is made to work at a very fast pace...like a super computer! This trains the mind...and if done consistently under parental/coach supervision it can do wonders. My Maitreya Club has initiated the Sunday Soccer League with the colony kids in order to help initiate this process. I hope parents will participate in the process in true sportsman's spirit.
