How Do I Make The Team Without Any Experience, Just Practice At Home?

Question

I just got into soccer last year, and my friends (who all play club soccer) want me to try out for the team. They keep reassuring me that I have enough skill, though I've never played on a soccer team, and they've never seen me play. I need to know about the game and what I might want to try out for too. Also, I play volleyball and I run cross country all the time, but I don't know if that would help.

Answer 1

yeah the cross country will help you with running since you need to be able to run up and down the feild a lot, so try running but by dribbling the ball from one foot to another. make sure you don't kick the ball out too far when you dribble, because in a real game another player could grab it from you. also practice passing, you could just use a family member and tell them to run like with you on the side and pass it back and fourth to learn to control it, or practice aiming by kicking it to like any random thing it just takes practice. just make sure whenever you pass you need to use the inner side of your foot. soccer is really fun it doesn't hurt to just try. hope the helps

Answer 2

You have fitness and you have desire. Skill, get your friends over and play some small sides games (1 v 1 to 4 v 4) and work on ball control and passing. And even if you are cut, you tried and as has been said, coaches look for players with enthusiasm and passion.

Answer 3

You'll never know if you dont try it. Go to try out and give it your best shot. Hard work and willingness to listen to a coach are just as important as talent. Remember, even Michael Jordan got cut from his HS basketball team as a freshman.

Answer 4

i made the cheerleading squad without a day's experience in my life, so if your friends think you can, you may as well try it.
(also, some of the girls who do play club soccer may not actually be GOOD at it)

Answer 5

Besides experience, coaches look for enthusiasm, spirit, conditioning, willingness to work hard, etc. These attributes will make up for any shortcoming in experience, and are all things you can work at, or think about, at home.

Answer 6

since u r asking for practice at home....u better juggle the ball and learn ball controlling....if u r alone, then try it with wall....kick the ball against the wall and get nearer in every kick....try holding the ball on ur head, neck and shin....and yea...stamina part as well....develop ur stamina...or if u have got some then try to keep it consistent....
