right now, what you really need are endurance and touches. i suggest you start running. A LOT. at this age, full games are 90 minutes. you should start doing touches. juggle, on your feet, not your thighs, practice dribbling, and try a few moves. (scizzors, step-overs, etc.) also, another good thing to try is ladders for speed and agility. you get a rope ladder, and you run through putting one foot in each rung without tripping/kicking the ladder as fast as you can. then try this with two feet in each rung. another good thing to do is set a cone about 3-5 yards from the end of the ladder that you come out of, and when you are through the ladder, run as fast as you can to the cone. most importantly, decide whether you would like to play defense or offense, and train yourself for it. ask someone to practice with you and decide what position you would like to play. practice kicking the ball far and acurate. also practice throw ins. i think thats all you need to know for now. hope this helped.

thank you so much :)
