I played keeper last year it a hard job and a easy job.Like the first guy said work on falling or they will score on you all today.Make sure to work on your punts and free kicks, goal kicks.Practice alot it does make a different.And when it one on one you versus the forward or the attacker charged them if your in HS most kid get scared and mess and stretch your body when you charged the attacker.And comfort in the goal box.Good luck

don't use your toes to kick the ball with, but use the top of your foot (the shoelaces) for power, or the side for accuracy.\n\npractice dribbling around things, is a good idea...but don't waste all your time running as you could be an olympic athlete but if you can't control or kick the ball your not going to make the team.\n\nAlso please note that as this is your first time, i doubt that your actually trying out for a high-caliber team, therefore fitness is not essential. A player who can pass the ball, and is smart, is much more effective than a headless chicken running around the field.\n\nDon't worry about learning fancy moves either, like you said its your first time, practice ball control (juggling, dribbling), and passing/shooting against a wall...this should help you improve.

make sure you got the basics down like dribbling, shooting, and defense. if you got the fundementals, than you can own anyone who comes down the block

If your team is in the competition, continue drills, lots of hydration the week before (definitely have every player at LEAST double-up on water), make sure you have your roster set. Scope out teams that you can.\n\nFor watching? Take some notes on the really good plays you see, and practice them the next time you possibly can.

Learn from watching games and trust me this is the time to watch (the World Cup!)\nPractice!\nFind your personal style\nLook at your weaknesses and strengths:\nfocus on improving your weaknesses and get better at your strengths. \n\nHere are some tricks:\nOver: the inside of your foot goes around the ball.\nUnder: the outside of your foot goes around the ball.\nOver-under(or vice-versa): The inside goes around then the outside all in one motion\nRoll-under: the sole of you foot rolls the ball over to your other side but then you take a quick hop to get the foot that you originally rolled it with and do an under\nRoll-exit: sole of you foot rolls the ball to the middle of you body then then the outside of your foot brings it to the your outside.\nHow to do a header: DON'T CLOSE YOUR EYES WHEN YOU DO A HEADER! Try to hit it with your forehead or else it will hurt!!!\n\nIf you need more help you can IM me at: soccerallstar4444 \n\n--i use yahoo! messenger

alright ur stance nothing matters stand however u want but before the pitch comes get into a hitting position so you are ready for a fast ball and so you can keep your hands back on a off speed pitch o ya and ur grib should be loose and ur knuckles should be lined up

One word-SPRINTS- there is no better tip than getting into game shape. You should play pick-up with some people and work on your foot work too. Also when you get pissed off kick the football around and knock the crap out of it the work on power on your shot.

Im the same do the basics,anotther good thing to do is practice your bat swing,im talkin about bat speed,knowing what each pitch looks like,train your eye to pick up the ball mid way between you and the pitcher,make sure your timing is right,dont over step with your lead foot its all in your hips anyway,my coach taught us to place your toe to the cornner of the plate and then bring your toe to where the back of your foot is so you can make contact on any pitch,(on and inside pitch your going to turn your hips sooner making your bat come come closer to you.its the oppsite for and outside pitch your going to wait on the ball and take a slight step inside at the same time swinging your hips to the outside.as for feilding get a good jump on the ball and dont make a catch in an ocward position,get a good angle.

I have coached tennis at the highscool level, college level, private club players etc.  I have even taught a group of 4 which consisted of a 12 year old boy, a 17 year old girl, her 42 year old mother, and a 65 year old man.  Now that is about as diverse a group you can get, but they were all relatively close in skill level.  The most important thing above all else, #1 on the priority list...i think you get the idea, is that you are receiving quality instruction!  That you are being taught the correct way.  You need to talk to experienced players and learn as much as you can as far as what grip to use for each stroke, how to impart spin on your strokes, how to follow through with your stroke to make your shot fluid and add depth to your shot.  How to properly position yourself in lining up for your shot.  Proper footwork from the ready position, split step, moving effieciently on the balls of your feet, making a full shoulder turn, stepping into the shot, moving forward through the stroke, and completing the follow through.  A lot of this will become second nature after you practice the techniques and form good habits but this is learned at a little more advanced stage.  I am sometimes asked to do clinics where I teach these fundamentals to players early in their development.  I even do volunteer clinics, if you live in the Northern CA area, or if you have a specific question that you would like answered, feel free to ask me, I sometimes take a few days to get back to you because I am away for awhile.  If you are looking for an answer as to what group you should be in, ask yourself which group will be best for my development as a player, and will I be able to give a full effort out there.

yay! i found someone like me!\nwell, what i do is i talked to one of my teammates, our setter, and she told me one-on-one how to do it. so she told me to relax ur fingers and to place them so they are about,a big as the Volleyball, and to practice pretending to set a ball by using ur fingers to push the ball into the air.t hen when i mastered that part, i got a Volleyball, and practiced using the hand motions( relax fingers, hands apart cupping VB, and pushing out, etc)\nPRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE!!!!\nmake sure when ur setting, to get underneath the ball, and to face your target or where ever you want the ball to go... \n\nwhat i found useful was to use my legs when i set. like, when ur passing, u use ur legs to "push" forward, same with setting except ur going to go up and down... make sense?? hope so... if not email me back and ill put it into different words..LOL! well GOOD LUCK!!
