This is posted on the UEFA( European Governing Body for Soccer- Football) web site. We could not have expressed it better:
Why play football? "Watch children
playing the game and the reasons will be self-evident," says UEFA
technical director Andy Roxburgh. "You will see a fascination for the
ball, fluid movement, playfulness, co-operation, competition,
challenge, commitment, celebrations, commiserations, enjoyment and an
abundance of energy. Children love to play; to experience, through
football, a joyous way of life.”
"Football is not a sport for
the élite," Roxburgh adds. "It is available for everyone, irrespective
of size, shape, colour or faith. It is a real sporting democracy, which
offers educational values, health benefits, social opportunities, and
sporting worth. The game is a wonderful vehicle for personal and
sporting development. At the base of the football pyramid, grassroots
football benefits all levels of the game."
