I probably have about 8 training jerseys and only 2 of them has numbers, both of them are from Man Utd. Hope my experience helps. @Mark P: In UK is called football, here we call it soccer. :)

I volunteered coach 4, 5 & 6 yr olds last fall for the first time in my life and I found that the best way kids learned is by example; I made it ALL fun learning games for them. This age is perfect for their brains to learn to process a lot of activity and learn new skills. Forget the seriousness, if they really end up liking the game that will come with time. At this age it all has to be FUN. Praise is more motivating than criticism. I found a few video drills at fundamentalsoccer.com and soccerhelp.com.

Start out sitting down and have a partner throw the ball to either side of u. As u get better at this you should stand up and try it. My advise would be to not start diving on ur feet.

First you have to be able to stick w/ anyone no matter what. Run some 40 yard dashes to work on your sprint speed. When you play D it is more important to be a fast sprinter than long distance. You also need endurance to continually run down ppl. U wont often need to run 4 long distances mostly short spirts. Also if u are not good technically or even if u r u need 2 be very tough on D iany1 can overpower ur going to have a tough day. I have played on D w/ ppl whos technique sucks but are simply tough enough to always get the ball. Also use all of ur body. Head foot shoulder and possibly in desperate times ur knee it will look bad but u might need 2. One drill is to have someone dribble at u at an angle and force them one way by turning ur body then have them cut and force them the other way. U r NOT trying 2 get the ball. Also have ur friend dribble at u trying to get the ball u need to be able 2 handle 1v1. Lastly have some throw the ball to u or roll or w/e and give u three sec to clear it to midfield you stand near the top of the D really have speed be tough and be able 2 handle YOUR man and youll be fine<br><b>References : </b><br> I used to play defense and my coach always relied on me but at first i wasnt good.
