GINGA WORKSHOPS

BRING GINGA METHODOLOGY TO YOUR CLUB

The mission of Ginga is to spread the idea of Free Play as important to the child's emotional, physical and social development. Ginga offers workshops and inflatables that your club uses to build communities of play.

  1. Build the foundational development in your club.  Kids need lots of play within unstructured environment...this is it! 
  2. Build club loyalty.  Kids that play together (not compete, or train) STAY together.  This play is very basic, intuitive, important and binding.  Use the strengths of your community to build a community of kids who love to play.
  3. Build the technical and tactical levels of your club.  There is no history of great players who did not submerge themselves in unstructured play with friends...so why not make it part of your club's structure?  Ginga mission is to promote free play in all environments.
  4. Build motivation for soccer and life. Some say that no one knows who the great players will be.  That's not true--the kids who play the most will be the best.  This play methodology is extremely exciting and motivating to kids.  Research backs it up: Studies of high level hockey players show that the greater the amount of Play as kids, the greater the capacity to do the hard work of deliberate practice as adults.  In both soccer and life: Play as kids empowers us to do the hard work as adults!
