ABOUT THE BOOK
As the founders of Inclyousion Sports and parents of three children, we have witnessed thousands of children experience their very first sports practice. Some children run onto the field with excitement, while others cling to a parent, unsure of what's about to happen. We realized that for many children, it isn't the sport they're afraid of, it's the unknown.
This book was created based on our own child’s first soccer practice and it incorporates best practices that we have learned from years of leading inclusive youth sports programs.
When children know what to expect, they're free to focus on what matters most: having fun, building confidence, making friends, and falling in love with being active.
This is the first book in the A Learn to Play Sports Story series, which will support children and families to build sports confidence one story at a time.
