Stretch a little bit (5 min)\nWarm up with 5-10 minutes run around the field.\nDo some short sprints after.(10min)\nRun along the side of a field with a soccer ball.(5-10min)\nAny trees close? with the ball go through them from right to left, going and coming back (10 min)\nFinally run around the field for another 5 min\nDo it three times a week This way you get some condition and get some control over the ball at the same time

You want to be able to control the ball well so practice that and other than that just build up ur endurance by doing long runs and ontinuous sprinting, strength always helps, no matter what sport ur playing

Every male soccer player who is serious about playing the sport should be able to run a mile and a half in 9 minutes or less.\n\nWith that in mind, a great way (probably the best way) to build speed would be run a mile on the track. I would like to note that I am a soccer player too, and have been all my life, and I also ran cross-country. We did this all the time in CC to build speed and endurance at the same time, both which are essential components in the game of soccer.\n\nAnyways, you should run a mile. The first 800, run at a normal pace, the third lap, jog at a relatively slow pace, and then on the fourth lap sprint the dang 400 with all you have left. Do about three-mile intervals of this each day and I guarantee you will see results, definitely.\n\nDon't expect too much of yourself at first. Most people I know can barely even run 2 miles without walking. Just do this as much as you can and you will gradually get better.

when i coached we did basic ball drills, ball control, long balls, chesting and passing with accuracy. lots of sprints back to back then you were given a rest period. 2 miles in 15mins. we use to stretch A LOT before and after try-outs but now we switched to a new 'active stretching' which is basically lunges and clams stretching while moving. My advice would be to try and make yourself standout in some way, try and make your presence known on the field, be vocal, and shoot! Good Luck. Soccer rules.

well its good to keep in mind that ronaldinho used to practice 30 to 35 hours a week or that rivaldo used to run to school every morning a distance about 12 kilometers.also,u must definately join a soccer club that u trust that it's gonna teach you soccer and you will not be playing just for the win.you must also learn that losing is part of tha game.you really need to have a strong body but i think that for that the club you will join will take good care about it.have fun and enjoy the wolrds most popular ,most democratic,and worlds thoughest sport!

Soccer can be a tough sport to train for. Soccer athletes must have not only an endurance base, but also the ability to sprint at full speed for short distances.  Try this workout once or twice a week, it will give you more endurance without taking away from your speed.\n\nWarm up: 1/2 mile\n\nWork out: Use a 2:1 Rest Ratio (ex. if it takes 30seconds to run 150m, then rest for 1:00 before the 200m) \n\n50m-100m-150m-200m-250m-200m-150m-100m-50m \n\nRepeat the pyramid one or two more times depending on how tired you are.

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!

I would slow things down.  I have a friend who is a great dribbler, but many times he tries to do too much and goes 100 mph.  Dont always look to beat your defender with the dribble.  Protect the ball and make smart passes.  Use your dribbling skills as a weapon, but dont always break out the skills. If you watch the good dribblers, for instance Iverson.  He wont break players ankles all the time, sometimes he will do simple old school dribbling, like just with one hand nothing fancy.  He will then break out a good move.  The defenders never know when it is coming and that makes it much harder to defend.  Use your skills wisely and they will be much more effective when you finally use them.  Ball possession is key in b-ball so make sure you are doing the smart thing instead of trying to make your defender look like a fool all the time.

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.

Here's a sure fire, can't miss suggestion for clearing space in the paint - Eat some pork & beans and sour kraut about  2 hours before your game...When the defense bodies up on you down in the post, BLAST 'EM!....and be sure to complain to the ref and blame someone else so you don't get a technical foul called on ya for being technically foul!

As a high school FB coach I use plyometric conditioning emphasizing explosiveness. Stay with the withs and add plyometric exercises.

With whom are you going to train. If you are training by yourself it's going to be really hard. Soccer is team sport so the best advice is to be training with some people. Training with other people is not only more fun, i think it's the only way to accomplish something.\n\nI'm a soccer player myself at a reasonable level in the Netherlands. I only train 2 times a week for 2 hours. This gives me enough practice to act at this level.\n\nI assume you play at a higher level so I think a training of 4 hours a day would be more than enough. Professional soccer players in the Netherlands train about an average of 6 hours a day. When training that much know that it's best to consult a physician.\n\nGood luck with training.

Obviously you've got to work out hard and make sure youre in shape for the start of the season. Strength and conditioning are essential for the O line. I'm assuming you already know that however. What I would suggest focusing on is working on your first step or your ability to get off the ball. If you can explode off the ball and get into the d-lineman before he gets to you, you'll dominate consistently. Strength is important as a lineman, but quickness and leverage are more important. In addition to your regular running and work-outs, I would suggest jump roping and jumping squat thrusts (they're like regular squat thrusts only you jump when you come up instead of just standing.) Id also suggest trying this; Find a brick or cement/concrete wall. Take some sidewalk chalk (or anything you can wash off) and draw a line to represent the abdomen/chest area of a d-lineman. Get down in your stance and work on firing off the ball and staying low, shooting up hands first into the wall. Do this over and over to increase your speed and to get used to staying low. OH, be careful not to hurt your wrists when you go into the wall. The last thing you want to do is break your wrist a month before training starts  lol. You may want to also consider wearing what boxers call "bag gloves." They're gloves that cover the back of your hand and your back knuckles so you don't rip your hands up on a heavy bag, or in this case, the wall. Other than that, just give it all you've got. If you go 100% and don't dog it during practice, the coaches will notice, and it will impress them. Hope it helps, and good luck bro.

run. Start with 5 min. the 1st day and increase by 5 min. everyday. Do it until u can run as long as an average soccer game time lasts. Eat a healthy diet lots of fiber and greens. Good lock!!
