What are some good soccer skills?
Posted by The Soccer Blogger as Soccer Training & Skills
I am good at soccer and all but I want to get better. I just want tips or tricks that I could use during a game. I usually play left midfield. I need to kick harder to and control my passes.
I played midfield for my school soccer team and needed to gain speed, and control my passes and aim better as well. One thing that I found better to build foot strength is punting a football. It might sound easy enough as punting a soccer ball but if you do it continuously you can get it in no time. If you know what medicine balls are there are ways that you can build foot strength with them to help you kick. To control and aim your kicks there are a few things that helped me which might sound like younger player stuff but really actually helped me was to get a few friends together and play soccer. As a warm-up with them you could kick back and forth a few times then run while kicking to a person whos stopped. Also just practicing alone with a ball could help you aim your passes, even going to a local school field or a soccer field and kicking a few balls into a goal would help overtime. One tip that I think that you could use is in a middle of a game, learn how to rainbow and you could rainbow the ball over people, I once did that in a game a few years back and I rainbow it while in motion and I managed to get it over a defender which was the highlight of my soccer career at school.

hey, OK will the tricks part is simple alot of people can learn them quickly all you have to do is practice, skills such as step overs, "the zidane", there’s alot you can check some out on youtube type in ronaldo step overs and you will see what i mean, make sure u master the skills b4 using in a a game because if u screw up with the trick ur going to lose confidence and u don’t want that, and controlling the ball part, also is a lot of practice but yet easier then skills, try running up and down the field using both left and right feet so that way you can count on the less stronger foot, and if you practice skills also going to help you with control, because skills are all about control, so good luck out there, and make sure you practice b4 doing any of them in a real game, hope i helped, take care =)
hope i get best answer lol

I am a left midfielder too.
Yeah passing and shooting is a downer for me sometimes too.
One tip to get more power is to jump through the ball. When you approach the ball, your head must be down. The follow through must be straight and long, with a jump to give it that extra force and power. Usually works better with a run up…
Passing is tactical and must be done properly at all times. NEVER use the outside of your boot for passing, always inside, better control and accuracy. Pass against the wall to yourself maybe 10-20 metres back and you’ll get better, aim for a certain spot on the wall too.
Now tricks, boy, there are heaps, but as mentioned above, step-overs and cetain backheels are a good start. Advanced skills range and the Maradona turn or the Ronaldinho Elastico is great, google is your friend.
Enjoy

You should join a website that has some drills and people to help. It’s a free social network that has soccer coaches and players – like a Facebook for soccer — where you can ask for help and share tips. It’s called SoccerClub.com: http://www.soccerclub.com
