run 6 miles each time you train.  The average soccer player runs six miles in a match.  Center midfielders can run up to 10 miles a game.  Running, stretching, calastenics, and light weighttraining for the legs will help.

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.

Biking and swimming are the most recommended exercises. Soccer is not recommended, that is what my Doctor told me.

technically: you need to have ball control on your feet, head, chest; great stamina and endurance for a 90mins game, a daily practice, knowledge about the game coupled with your natural born skills to play soccer, of course dedication and determination is needed.

I played futsal and futevolei..both are awesome and are extremely intense...it is a fast moving game and the ball moves twice as fast and it is where ball handling skills are crucial which is why the great athletes practice there...

When I played football I was really slow. During one summer I some exercises that took over a second off my 40yrd dash.\nRun 10 40 yard dashes foreword\nRun 10 40 yards dashes backwards\nRun sprints down hill.\nThe last one did a lot of good. \nDo this at least 4 imes a week.\nThese suggestions may sound silly but I promise they worked for me.

Well as you may know, you have to train probly 5-6 times a week. Cutting 19 seconds off your time is going to take some time and patience. You should do a few runs of 4-5 miles, a long run of about 6-7 miles, and a few track workouts each week. Examples of track workouts could be 8-10 400m runs, 15 200m runs, or possibly 6 or 7 800m runs. If you do 400m, try to do them at about 75 seconds each, 2-3 minute rest. 200m should probly be around 30-33 seconds and 800m around 2:20-2:25. Change your track workout each week, like do 400's one week and maybe 800's the next. Hope that helped!!

The top thing you can do is practice for 2 hours twice a day. One major thing you need to practice for is "ball controle" just dribble the ball inbetween your feet and try not to look at your feet when you do this. It will give you more controle over the ball and it will help you to not look at your feet every 5 seconds. And another thing. Watch as many online soccer clips and soccer games on the tv. And when I say this I mean it. Dont for get to practice every day.

If you have a friend or neighbor or sibling that plays soccer, you could ask them to teach you over the summer.  Try practicing about ten minutes a day until you get the hang of it.  When school gets back, and soccer starts up again, you'll be ready to join a recreational team!

As long as you're in good health I would definitely recommend it. Since you have played before I am sure you know that soccer requires substantial stamina and endurance. Look for a church or park league to get yourself back into the swing of it. Depending on your skill level, you can determine for yourself whether you would like to play just for fun (and great exercise - it's a great sport that you can that you can play at any age) or if you're ability is more at a competitive level. Either way, just the fact that you're interested means you should give it another shot! Good Luck and Have FUN!

That's a lot of cardio!  I usually only do 20 minutes four times a week.  What I find fun is an elliptical machine.  These are at all gyms.  I usually bring my iPod or plug my headphones into the TV so I can watch that.  Do something that takes your mind off of you exercising.

See the answer I gave to Tyson who asked the same question only a couple of days ago.\nHere was my answer, try these\nbasic speed training are assisted and resisted speed training. Assisted training (also called overspeed training helps to improve stride frequency. Resisted speed training helps to improve speed-strength and stride length. to improve your speed off the mark and acceleration. \nA typical session may consist of approximately 5 sets of 10 reps\n\ntry some of these sprinting technique drills like these could help improve your technique\nRaise Knees: 10 meters - jog - 10 meters - rest\nSprint 10 meters concentrating on raising knees as higher than normal. Jog for 10 meters and then sprint for 10 meters and rest. \n\nFast Knee Pick Ups: 10 meters - jog - 10 meters - rest\nJogging on the spot raise your knees to waist height while emphasising arm action. Move forward 10 meters with this action concentrating on the number of ground contacts rather than how fast you cover the distance. Try to get as many ground contacts as possible. \n\nFlicks: 10 meters - jog - 10 meters - rest\nWhile sprinting over 10 meters concentrate on flicking your heels up to touch your butt. \n\nLeg Speed: 60 meters\nThis is a normal sprint over 60 meters except all of your focus should be on your legs. Try to gauge the optimum leg speed for you by taking different stride lengths to see which yields the best results. \n\nHigh Hops: 3 x 40 meters\nBound from one foot to the other. The action is similar to skipping except your are trying to gain as much height as possible and stay in the air for as long as possible. Remember to recover fully between attempts. \n\nElbow Drive: 40 meters\nSprint for 40 meters concentrating on driving your elbow in a straight line. Keep your elbows flexed at right angles while keeping your arms relaxed.\n\nSpeed And Agility Drills\n1. Basic Sprints\nSet 2 cones out 10-20 meters apart. Sprint from one cone to the next and slowly jog back to the start. Vary the start of the sprint to make the drill more sport specific. \nFor example... \nFace backwards, lie down, jump up, pretend to receive a pass, jump to head a ball etc. \n\n2. Rolling Start\nExactly the same as above except you jog for 10 meters before sprinting. This drill is specifically designed to enhance acceleration rather than speed off the mark. Try running backwards or side stepping as well.
