Is soccer a very difficult sport for someone beginning to take interest in any sport of any kind???

Question

I am thinking about trying out for the soccer team at school, because I'm not good and sports and I want to improve that and my physical activity. I think it would teach me many things, like teamwork, actual physical work, and helping others along with yourself to get what you want.
Is it too hard of a sport to learn for a beginner? I'm not great at sports, but I can't say that I'm THAT awful. In fact, I wouldn't be so awful if I actually tried in gym...but...anyway...to anyone who plays soccer, do you think I should just go for it?

Answer 1

I coach soccer,Your never to old to start to learn the sport. just like any thing in life that you want to be good at you must practice. You need to get a ball and some tapes of training and watch and try to get control of the ball. Check out some of the local soccer clubs they are having sign ups. You can join them good luck and just work hard to be good.

Answer 2

i love soccer so my advice to you is, to get a soccer ball and just start passing with some friends and practicing, to play soccer you have to be able to run alot because your constantly moving in soccer so running is always good. i think that its a good sport to try cause its a good team sport.

Answer 3

It's a lot of running....but other than that it probably is actually a pretty good sport to start with

Answer 4

soccer is for kids who cant play sports cuz everyone can play soccer! if u want people to notice u skateboard!!!

Answer 5

my son played for years....it would be a great place to start....like the others have posted..get a ball and start practicing passing.. and kicking the ball.........also, this is a game that requires a lot of running.....so ,you might want to start running everyday..don't over due..just gradually build up.....to get into shape..

best of luck to you....
