How can I improve my soccer skills to even have a chance on making the high school soccer team?
Posted by The Soccer Blogger as Soccer Training & Skills
I am starting to think about high school, and I realize that I REALLY love soccer and I want to keep playing. I really want to be good enough to tryout for the high school team, so I don't completely embarrass myself infront of everyone. please help!!!
First you have to get faster and stronger. train on that by running a whole lot and going to the gym and exercising. If you get faster and stronger, defenders will have a harder time stopping you. train your shoot power and accuracy everyday. These are the kind of skills you can improve: Stamina, Speed, Shoot accuracy and power. Now dribbling skills, you can only improve them by actually playing soccer games. But these are skills you were born with, you don't learn them. I hope you have them cuz if you don't you probably never will. Ronaldinho didn't learn how to do all these skills, it is just natural for him. So if you already have dribbling skills, play as many soccer games as you can during summer and improve your stamina, shoot power and accuracy, your speed. Try not to get injured.
Good Luck!!!

try dribbling the ball as much ass possible..its better if u dribble in a small area so u can learn how to keep the ball close to ur foot.also try using cones and dribble in and out.

Envision the game before you play it! As an Englishman football (Soccer) is our nations sport. I play to learn all the time and I'm considered by some as a very good player. What I do is watch a lot of football games and play in my head. When i get to a situation on the pitch, its probably been thought of before and i execute it well. practice on those things.
Eat football, Drink football, Sleep football.

Watch as many as soccer games as you can. Watch how they play. To improve your soccer skills PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE. YOU HAVE TO increase your speed and endurance to play any position. You need to know the basics like pass, shoot, and dribble. Also, you need to work on your touches on the ball. If somebody passes you the ball you need to know how to recieve it. Head, chest, ect. If you want to play as a defender you need to have speed and know how to get the ball when the attacker makes a mistake. To play midfield you need to know how to cross, shoot, pass accurately, and dribble. Basicly same thing goes for forward. You can take set pieces playing any position. Also, get yourself some decent soccer cleats that fit you and are comfortable. Good luck in highschool.
