You should be in excellent shape when you try out.  Then listen to the coach and follow his directions to the best of your ability. If you don't make the team this year, volunteer to help in some way.  Ask the older players for tips.  Watch and listen during practices.  Speed is important but more important is the ability to listen and learn.  Good luck!

ha ha - is this a set up? - well I'll say it - don't worry, Charlton have got away with it all season!\n\nTake it easy if you're not used to running around. Try and keep clear of the opposition so you have time to react when the ball finds you. The wing is quite a good place to hide, if any one tries to get past you you can always adopt the Boris Johnson style of tackling...\n\nGood luck and enjoy it (let us know how you get on).

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

go with matt, he has great WR and he has shaune alxander back...shaune will keep the defance form stacking up on the WR so look for matt to have a good game passing the ball

Depending on your defensive strategy, it's either left field, right field, center field and short field; or right field, right center field, left center field, left field (if you play 4 deep outfielders).

You have to play Rolen.  Way much better option than Atkins.  Don't try to predict who will be better, you know who will have better numbers at the end, Rolen!  Just keep sticking with him unless he gets hurt.

yeah, free flow is good. if your team playing defensive, fine, let them. or you can change the formation into 4-2-4 this way, you can play attack football and defensive at the same time. don't pass the ball through the midfielder, use long shots. haha.... hope it works

You need a good head on your shoulders first. This enables you to make snap decisions that will put you in the play. I also suggest conditioning. I mean running ablility is a must. If you can't run you can catch or out run someone else. Agility and flexability is a must. You must be able to move in different directions in an instant. If you are not flexible you will be more prone to injuries. Other than this you need good hands. Your hands play an essential part of the game. You  must catch the ball, throw the ball and use your hands to hold someone to tackle them and even use them to push them off of you to get to the play or to gain yardage. These are a few things you should work on to be a good football player. Attitude, confidence, hard work, determination and being coachable will help extremely. I hope this helps. JT Lay

Learn a new position. A lot of times a coach will see something in a player that will make them better in another position. It is a team sport and changing position might be whats best for the team. Great volleyball players are the ones with soild all around games. One dimensional players usually don't go very far. Discuss it in a positive manner with your coach. Good luck and practice hard.

it depends how big and fast a guy is. on both side. if the rusher is fast u play the shoulder. if hes strong but slow try a bullrush and rip under

it depends on the position you want to play....go to a gym, talk to a personal trainer, usually your first time is free...they'll get you started....protein, protein, protein,....lift lots of weights...you gotta keep with it though...no slacking....good luck.

You best bet would be: don't ever get close to the ball. Seriously, don't play afraid thinking about an injury. I played well into my fifties ( and many tough games ) and I suffered few injuries, and all of them minors. Go for the ball with confidence. If you are tentative,it is worse.

I played D-Line in College.  The most important thing is to stay low and get your hands inside the numbers of the O-lineman.  This will create leverage.  You can then discard the lineman and purse the play.  ALWAYS pursue the play and take a good angle.  You might not make the tackle but the extra effort could result in a fumble recovery.

I would do cotchery. I have Moss on my team. He never gets me the points I want. I would start anyone else and sleep on Moss.

Okay. In order to play soccer, you have to be in VERY good shape. Soccer players are some of the best athletes on the planet because they have to be constantly moving up and down a huge field. If you want to be a striker/forward, you will need to be able to sprint, but you will not be doing as much running as midfield/halfback. Midfields stay in the middle of the field and run an average of 2-4 miles, depending on the intensity in the game, in high school, and more in college. Soccer is very competitive in some areas. Do not be afraid of coming into contact with the ball because you will need to head it(use your hairline), and trap it with your chest, torso, and legs. Practice should be intensive, based on the personality of the coach. You will do antything from running sprints to passing to running miles to scrimmaging. And as to the goalie question, usually a player volunteers to be a goalie. If no one volunteers, which is highly unusual, then the coach should determine the goalie based on which player is least intimidated by the ball and has the quickest reflexes. No, no one will make you be goalie. You always have the option of saying no or quitting the team. Soccer is a very intensive sport, but I love it. I am currently playing on a high school varsity team and I love it. I usually play right midfield, but can be subbed in for the forward position. In my opinion, soccer is the best sport and really helps get the stress out. Advice: think of someone you hate/would love to smack and kick the ball with all your might. Kick using your shoelaces and lean back to put power into your kick. Pass the ball with the side of your foot. When shooting, never use your toe. And finally, never use your arms to trap the ball. Some referees call a handball only if the ball touched the actual hand, but most usually call it for any part of the arm. Good luck, chica!!! :D
