Way to train for soccer?
142482
Steps:\n1.  Prepare for preseason training. This two-week period can be torture for the unprepared player - or it can be manageable for the physically fit one.\n \n2.  Enter freshman year in good shape. A player who does this is in the minority and has a tremendous advantage.\n \n3.  Become familiar with the program. Go to the high school training and observe the team.\n \n4.  Attend freshman, JV and varsity high school soccer games in the fall of 8th grade to understand the level of play.\n \n5.  Introduce yourself to the high school coach and tell the coach you look forward to playing.\n \n6.  Ask the high school coach or trainer how to best prepare for the season.\n \n7.  Seek out players already on the team for advice and support.\n \n \nTips:\nExpect a big commitment. High school soccer goes beyond many earlier programs. You can expect to play two or three games a week.\n \nPrepare for lots of practice. Practice may be held on every non-game day.\n \nStrike a balance. Learn early on how to juggle academics with soccer.\n \nBrace yourself for the possibility of being cut from the team - something that doesn't often happen in earlier years.

Jorge had a lot of advice for you. I too have been soccer for years. The easiest way for me is to slide in. you have to be quick and cut the player sharply and off-course. You must be able to pick yourself up quickly off the ground as you tackle, and be able to dribble. Slide-tackling works best when there are open players to pass to after you retrieved the ball.\n\nGood luck!

As a team, try to keep the ball moving and spread the defense, taking advantage of open spaces. The best way to accomplish this is to play one and two touch soccer. \n\nStrike the ball with pace so that your teammate doesn't have to wait on the ball.  A firm pass is more likely to arrive at its destination.  In terms of teamwork, the player who is the intended target of your pass must go to the ball.  At the same time though, make your teammate look good by digging out a bad pass and keep possession.\n\nAs a team, train in game-like situations, with the right kind of intensity and pressure. Anybody can play keep a way when they aren't under pressure, but only the good player can do it in a crunch. \n\nYou can recreate game-like conditions by making the areas you are playing in small so that there is constant pressure on those with the ball. Then, when you are getting the right intensity, open the game up and play in a larger area.  For example, start with 8 versus 8 in the goal box and then open up into the whole half once the intensity mimics that of a game.\n\nWhen you’re not training with the team, work on technique by kicking the ball against a wall. Make sure to use both your right and left foot. Keep your ankle locked and strike through the center of the ball with pace.  Get your body behind the ball with a uniform strong sense of balance.  \n\nIn order to become a great passer, you’re also going to need to become familiar with the different kinds of passes, and the various ways in which they are used…\n \n\nPut Your Best Foot Forward\n\nThe way in which you move the ball depends on several things, such as:\n\n·         Where it’s going\n\n·         What you want it to do when it gets there\n\n·         Who’s in the way, and\n\n·         What part of the foot you use\n\nThe first three factors depend on your own strategy, but the last one depends solely on technique:\n\nInside of the foot:  This is the most useful part of the foot to use when passing the ball. It’s the part of your foot with the most surface area, thus giving you the most control and accuracy. \n\nInside edge of the foot:  This is the same as the above but with the upper portion of your foot to bend the ball. Wrap your foot around the ball so it curves into your teammate’s feet or into an area, as with a cross or shot.\n\nOutside of the foot:  This kind of pass is used when you want to bend the ball into a teammate or into an area.  Often, your body is in a position where you can't make a simple pass.  If this is the case, try to strike through the ball.  Follow through with the upper portion of the outside of your foot.  \n\nLong passes:  This is for driving the ball into a teammate..  If you are picking a player out, you don't need to follow through the ball. Instead, strike the ball sharply and stop your follow through just after hitting it.\n\nBy fine-tuning your skills as a passer, you can significantly increase your team’s chances of success. Your victory won’t be complete, however, unless you and your teammates learn to cooperate to control the ball…\n\n \n\nPassing Standards\n\nThere’s an endless variety of patterns and drills that can help your team expand and hone its passing vocabulary. These, however, are the most important passing blueprints that you should be familiar with:\n \n\nGive and Go or Wall Pass\n\nMake a pass at an angle to a teammate and he or she plays the ball back to you after you have made a run behind the defender. \n\nThe key

Ask your coach. \n\nI asked the same question and that's really the best thing to do.\nThey should give you good ideas for your specific needs and such. =]

there is a pretty good exercise I do for football. You lay on your back and put your legs in the air(just dangle them). Then you do 30 cruches. Take your time don't rush! Then with your legs still in the air (you keep them up the entire time) you do 30 leg lifts. They are where you but your hands under your but and shoot your legs out straight. Then you with your back down lift your legds (still straight) up and down (thats one)You do it 30 times. Then yes with your legs still in the air you do 30 seconds of bicicles. That when you take your legs in the air and bend them.Then you start pedeling them like you are riding s bike. At the same time you put your hands on your head and do half cruches form side to side. Then 30 more leg lifts. Remember kepp your legs up back down take your time and don't give up. Dont wait in between the different exercises. do it 6 days a week.

It's kinda hard to explain on the internet, you'd be much better off getting a private coach or joining a spring or summer camp. But to get the ball in the air (I think you want to know how to kick the ball in the air), kick it with your laces, have your toe pointed to the ground, like a ballet toe. Bring your foot back, kick forward and kick with your laces UNDERNEATH the ball. Remember, the ball will go up if you hit it from the BOTTOM of the ball. Good luck., and have fun with the great game of football (soccer)!

Practice playing pick up games with people whenever you can.  Run often, both sprints and jogging, to be as fast as possible.  Juggle the ball with your feet and knees and practice taking shots on goal and moving down the field as much as possible.  Finally, watch professional soccer to see how they do it--passing and playing as a team is another important factor in being a skilled player!

I ask FIFA referee Markus Merk and he explained it as to train, train, train....... I myself am a USSF referee, but started in my 30's. He started at 14. Go to as many clinics, training sessions and meetings as possible. Just like some players, make game tapes and have a referee evaluate them. Contact your local football club and find out when referees train or meet. Best of luck to you.

First you need to get your ass in shape. Try finding some soccer leagues in your age range that you can play. Also, do alot of running, if you've played before you'll know that soccer is a constant running game.....especially if you play midfield. When I was in High School over the winter I would play on 4 different teams so I could keep in shape. You don't have to go to that extreme but try going to an indoor faculty, they're always looking for teams/players.

Okay look at it this way...What will playing soccer do your your tennis skills?! Well lets break them down one by one shall we. (Now these is something that you can use to tell your parents to encourage them if you're really interested in playing soccer.)\n\n- running: it keeps you fit and flexible and helps with your agility.\n- footwork: will be dramatically improve since that is what soccer is all about. The better footwork you have the more you excel. Plus you need to have good footwork on the tennis court, eh?\n- aiming: sure its with your feet rather than with your hand but it will help you with your concentration. Make your more visual so you can visualize where ur gonna send that tennis ball.\n\nGetting ready: Keep running. Just like tennis where you help your agility around the court by running for the balls down the line do the same thing for soccer. Just place them farther apart each time as your progress. Take time with concentrating on the ball and keep reminding yourself that you are not allowed to touch the ball with your hands unless you are a goalkeeper!

you can train yourself or have a coach do it.\nIf you do yourself you only need to begin with a simple slow half hour session.\nConsisting of a warm up of 10 laps including kick, technique, and a few laps without stopping.\nHave a main which would one fast lap, one cooldown lap for about 20 laps.\nThen a cooldown of about 400m.\nThats if you want to get fit

Volunteer to help with the soccer part of sports information at the school you'll attend, even if it's unpaid. Send a resume to every MLS club and follow up with a phone call. And accept a very low-level job with an MLS club, part-time or seasonal, if necessary to get your foot in the door, so to speak. People generally hire people they know.
