How Football Keeps Kids Away from Too Much Screen Time

If you are a parent today, you have probably noticed how quickly kids get hooked on phones, tablets, and video games. It’s easy for them to spend hours staring at screens, and we all know it affects their sleep, focus, and even mood. Many parents wonder how do we break this cycle?

One simple answer is sports. And among all sports, football works like magic. The moment kids step on the field, they find something far more exciting than gadgets; running free, kicking the ball, and laughing with friends and that too with the guidance of skilled coaches (if you decide to enroll your child to Kathmandu Kickers Football Academy). That joy of scoring a goal or simply chasing the ball is something no screen can give.

Football doesn’t just get them moving, it gives them purpose. They learn teamwork, discipline, and the value of small improvements. Instead of asking for “just 5 more minutes” on a phone, they start asking, “When is my next training?”

As parents, there’s nothing better than seeing your child happier, healthier, and more active. So, at Kathmandu Kickers, we believe in building these habits early, hence children grow up loving the game, not the gadgets.
