Our children are growing up into a global world. We may want to turn back the clock to the time when we as North Americans only had to care about our opinions, ideas, or cultural values. But the world we live in is forever changed. Whether we want it or not, we are in a cross cultural world.
That is the wonder of soccer. You see international teams with players from 11 different countries on the field at the same time. How do the coaches communicate in so many different language. The fact is, they use the same language. It is the soccer language. You do not need words to communicate in the soccer language.
This is very important for our children who are growing up into a cross cultural world like non ever seen before.
In Arizona as in other states, we can truly see the effect of increased diversity in the population. We are seeing increasing numbers of Hispanics in the populations. AfroHeritage people have been in Arizona before statehood and are increasing in numbers. Of course we probably have the largest population of Native Americans and certainly the largest acreage on Indian lands.
This is only the tip of the iceberg. We have a large population of Asians who have been here for generations such as the Chinese. We also have a viable Japanese community, Indian community, Muslim community and increasing number of recent African immigrants. And of course there are large numbers of immigrants from Kosovo. There is also a thriving populations of Europeans from many countries. We are truly an international culture.
Your children are going to school with the children of all these different cultures. How do you want them to interact with them? What would you like to see them think about all these kinds of people? They will eventually be sharing the workforce with them. Eventually they may be doing business with them. Chances are they are going to be playing soccer with them, since most international are very soccer oriented.
The fact is that your children will be living in this new high diverse world no matter what part of town you move into. Sooner or later they will be a part of their lives. That is the power of soccer. They will be encountering soccer coaches from many countries. Coach Dan Gaston is from France, born of a French mother and a Haitian father.
Here on the soccer field, you will find children from the Sudan who speak no English, yet play soccer well in harmony with other players. Soccer will your children's pathway to living in this new cross cultural world.
This website will have many tips on ways you can help your children develop the needed cross cultural communication skills.
We are offering an international soccer camp in Honduras where your children will be under the care of Honduras soccer coaches as well as coaches from Arizona. This camp will be under the supervision and control of Dr. Cross. Chris Watkins, her grandson, will be the youth leader of this camp.
Because of her personal commitment to creating a cross cultural world, the camp will not only offer soccer training, practice and tournaments. There will be morning classes in Spanish and trip to cross cultural sites.
Soccer is truly our passion.
