Start kicking the ball to a wall...control it when it comes back... kick it again... tons of times... day after day...  until u get confident with control and power of kick.\nThat is a first step.\n\nposted later ---> Indian yoga or meditation??? wtf??? that's why India sucks in soccer!!!\nConcentration??? Unless you are a pro... succer is fantasy, free your mind from any tought (including the one that forces you to "concentrate")

I think that strength is a bit less important than endurance in soccer.  The good thing though is that soccer requires a bit of different types of endurance, which over time will probably also increase strength.\n\nThe first is simple time endurance, but that I mean, your ability to run forever - a quality most important if you're a midfielder.  The best way - run every day, slowly increasing how far you run.  Over time, this will probably develop lower leg muscles.\n\nThe second is your ability to recover.  If you're a forward or a defender, your skills are going to be able to maintain numerous sprints over the span of the game, followed by a short recovery period.  This requires you to do sprint workouts.  If you're hard core, you can also use resistance (tie a small parachute to your back while sprinting).  Otherwise, mark off say a quarter of the soccer field.  Sprint from the endline to the mark, walk back to the endline (preferably briskly), repeat.  With each repetition try to sprint faster and harder.  Over time, increase the number of repetitions and the length to which you sprint.  This will eventually build up upper leg muscles.\n\nDon't stress yourself too much though or you'll be done for by the time the trials start.  Make sure that you're eating a balanced diet and getting lots of fluid as well.  I've found that orange juice is an excellent choice as you get some energy from the sugars, there's lots of water for hydration, and a load of potassium and minerals to prevent cramping.\n\nBest of luck.  (PS, finding a partner to do a lot of one-on-one is a good idea as well - play keep away for as long as possible.  This continues to hone your touch on the ball while maintaining a high level of exercise which will work to maintain both endurance and speed)

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

my coaches seem to like endurance drills. they are HOOOOORRRRIBLE but they take up some time and they really are helpful.\nThe one that seems to stick the most: Sprint from first cone 2 the second one (straight line) jog to the next cone (also straight line) Sprint up the hill, then sprint down  (obviously a little distance away) and at the bottom of the hill, do 10 pushups. from there run in for a grounder, throw it back, then sprint back to the first cone. Repeat for 10 minutes, but with younger kids you should adjust the pace and difficulty or the lenghth.\n\nFor drills try 6 on 6 offense defense, put the goalie in goal, have each defender pair up with an offender and start the ball with offense, like a mini scrimage because it starts out pretty close to the crease. its fun and it also teaches cutting skills. Relays are alot of fun too, and keeping one thing in focus, like one day, cradling and ground balls, and another day just throwing, a day of just conditioning etc.\ngood luck!

Butt kicks.  Run knees up. Get thighs horizontal.  Sprint up hills really fast(steep hills) Do sprinting for a long period of time. Make your legs and heart and lunges stronger.  Lift weights with your legs. they have machine that does that.  If you don't do some strengthening of the legs you will injure you self and won't be able to practice. Trust me I know.  All of these techniques worked for me.

If I was you I would work on dribbling drills the most. They will certainly help you in about every aspect of the game. \n\nWell, if you want to increase your distance, you need to strength (build up) your arms. If you don't already do weight training, I would recommend that for a starter. \n\nSome inside exercises that are really difficult & a very good workout cario wise is something called "Back-To-The-Basics!"\n\nDo 100 Jumping-Jacks\nRun in place 100X's (each step count as 1)\nDo 100 Mock Jump Rope\nRun in place 100X's (each step count as 1)\nDo 100 punches (side-to-side twisting, back & forth, only moving upper body only) \nRun in place 100X's (each step count as 1)\nDo 100 jumps (just jump up & down on tips of feet)\nRun in place 100X's (each step count as 1)\nDo 100 twist-&-turns (basically, just keep feet together & jump side to side while twisting a little 45 degree to the left when going to the right & 45 degrees to the right when going left.\nRun in place 100X's (each step count as 1)\n\nNow, once you do that just repeat it 3 more times then your done. It's a great cario workout!! enjoy!

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.

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.

WARMING UP\n\nBefore starting the exercises, warm up your muscles. Stretch properly, and jog around for a few minutes.\n\nIf you have a jumprope, use it. Jumping rope definitely helps your conditioning.\n\nRunning up and down stairs for a while is very useful as a warmup, or a full exercise. Don't do too much or else you may wear our your legs. Use it as a quick warmup, or a full exercise.\n\nJUMPING EXERCISES\n\nDeep Knee Bends --- Be standing. Slowly bend at the knees while keeping your back straight. Slowly crouch down as low as possible (it shouldn't hurt) and slowly rise back up. Do this 15 times. Over time increase to 20, 30, etc.\n\nDeep Knee Bend Jumps --- Be standing. Crouch down as described above but fairly quickly, almost touching your bottom to the ground, then explode upwards as high as you can. The moment you land, immediately crouch and launch back up again. Do this 15 times, and when you can, increase to 20, 30, etc.\n\nToe Raises --- Stand regularly, then raise up onto the tips of your toes. Lower back down. Don't just rock up and down, do it slowly (not too slowly) but steadily. Repeat 30-50 times.\n\nToe-Raise with Weights --- If you have any sort of weights, holding/wearing them while doing these toe raises will help. Use small weights (a mere 5 or 10 pounds is fine) and work your way up.\n\nStomach Crunches --- We believe that sit-ups are bad for your back. Stomach crunches, where while lying on your back, using your ab muscles and keeping your back straight, you rise up just enough to lift your shoulders off the ground, are better. Do them often - perhaps for 10 minutes in the morning and 10 minutes at night.\n\nJumping Rope--- Jumping rope definitely helps your vertical leap. Jump rope while watching tv or something. Make it a habit. \n\n- Learn to dribble while keeping your head up. If you have to keep your head down and watch the basketball while dribbling, you aren't going to be able to see what your teammates or the defense is doing. You'll only see what's directly around you, not the whole floor, and it'll be hard to create or know what to do. Learn to dribble without actually having to look down while doing so. Crouching down makes it easier to do this.\n\n- Learn to dribble with both hands. It's hard to get equally comfortable dribbling with either hand, you'll almost always have one hand that's much easier for you to dribble with, but work to at least be comfortable dribbling with your weak hand, too. It'll make it a lot easier to create and finish moves, and it'll be harder to steal the ball from you.\n\n- Dribble with your fingers, not your palm.\n\n- Practice shots while you dribble. Learn to incorporate getting your shots off with the actual dribble moves that make them easier to do.\n\n- Remember, passing the ball is quicker than dribbling it.
