Get some jump soles man, that increased my vertical drastically, not only that it made my first step off the dribble a lot quicker too.   Give that a try, they come with a great workout sheet thatll get you jumping higher in no time.  Good luck man

that is incorrect after many times playing soccer i found that if i didn't hold a stretch i became really sore afterwards but high knees and lunges are a good element to add to your stretching

Find another decent soccer player and challenge them. It really does work because it makes you compete and try harder, trying to beat them. I like doing that. And when you're juggling, try to keep your feet at a 90 degree angle, straight forward. It works.

It's not a requirement, but most do. They tried to make it law in the early 90's but some players couldn'tget used to them. Some attacking players still don't seem to wear them as they say they can reduce mobility, but over 90% of the current professionals (in the european premier leagues) wear some ankle protection.

indoor soccer is a bit (lot) different from conventional soccer in that it usually requires immense skills and agility... confidence is always particularly important in this game...\n\ni always find it good to think that i;m the best demn player in the pitch... get a little bit cocky... it gives me a whole lot more of confidence to dribble and play fancy, although the ball do get stuck at times... and of course, strecthing is a must...

I would recommend the Adidas Samba Millenium. I have them in white and silver and they are awesome!! They come in 4 different colors(white/silver, black/white, white/black, white/orange) and they have arch and heel support which is great for soccer! I wear them a lot! and they look good with jeans, shorts, t-shirts and shorts... just about everything! And they are relatively cheap.

As a female soccer player, I guarantee you I do not 'breast' the ball. You take the impact on the area at the top of your breasts, where it is not so fleshy. To 'breast' the ball could be quite painful. Kind of like taking it in the groin for a male.

The size of your feet is unimportant, but the shape of your feet is very important. For example, David Beckham's natural ability to deliver pinpoint swerving crosses and free kicks from the right wing has been attributed by some to the slightly unusual shape of his right foot (we're not talking deformities, but a bone-shape difference which would likely be almost invisible to the naked eye). So the reason you can't kick the ball could be something to do with the shape of your feet.

so many shoes. i think it depends on what position you play and how you play.

i agree use meuller, our varsity team is required to wear them, per our trainer, bc even liberos sparian their ankles when they shuffle, and blockers when they land..but anywho get the black ones from meuller they have two hard plastc straight pieces that go up the sides, then two velcro pieces that are about 2 inches wide a piece..and the best part is once you put them on the first time and put ur foot in your shoe, they stay there and when you take off your show, undo your ankle brace first then take off ur shoe, it saves time..if your coach is like ours she is like hustle get dressed faster..and ankle braces can be time consuming..but they are the most sturdy, and ive had other brands and they cause raw spots on my ankles, so you might want to get some pre-wrap for the frist few weeks until your ankles get used to it.

I've played soccer since I was about 5. I love everything about it: fast paced, competitive, and fun as hell. Until about a year ago, I was mid fielder, but when our goalie was injured I had to get in goal. It is the most nerve wracking, intimidating thing to do in all of sports...I LOVE IT!!

Yeah I agree, especially with the Nikes.  They are great because they are so light, but I defintley noticed a lack of support, and had two teamates who had similiar Nikes and had foot injuries the entire season.  I switched to the heavier but much more solid predator, and I was very happy after that.

I especially like Reusch Duo Orthotecs.  If you're going to be playing at highschool level or above, I would definitely recommend any kind with reinforced spines on the fingers.  Don't buy anything that looks or feels cheap, because you get what you pay for and they won't protect your hands.  The higher the level of play and commitment to soccer, the more I would spend.  I would suggest paying at LEAST $30-$40, more if you wish.  Make sure get the right size.  If this is the first time you're buying gloves, try to find a soccer shop so you can try them on.  The tips of the gloves can be up to one inch past the tips of your fingers (you might not want to get them THAT big).  The space at the tips can help prevent jams.  Like many of the other respondants to this question, definitely go to www.soccer.com, browse through and request a catalog.  They have a catalog called Keepersport that only has 'keeper gear.
