SiLenTxfAiRy answered Sunday August 22 2004, 10:35 pm: well..once again, a question about soccer!:) ive played forever..so i kinda know alot about it! go strong to the ball no matter what, and dont be afraid to get physical..i dont mean punching or anything, but when its 1v1..put your shoulder into it a bit..push ah little..and try and steal it..its ah lot easier if your ah little more physical with it. tryouts suck, believe me i just finished last week..and made varsity. think positive..even if your going against the biggest meanest girl, tell yourself you can get the ball away from her..and do it!:)

crazy_beautiful_ answered Monday August 16 2004, 2:24 pm: ive been playing since i was 7 so yhis is my advice....
1)want the ball and don't wait for it, be first to it
2)be aggresive but use your skills instead of your pushing.
3)make your shots on goal frequent and accurate.
4)also create space by moving into open areas.
5)call for the ball and COMMUNICATE..coaches love it. Say things like i got ball, drop, square, hold, cross, through.....
6)be a part of the team..dont be a outcast so that they know you'll be comfortable on the team
7)keep the ball on the ground with controlled passes.
8)work on juggling and nice tricks and show them off....
spoiledx3shortii answered Monday August 16 2004, 1:57 pm: One Thing- Coaches love to see players Hussle for the ball.. in every sport... throw yourself on the ground if you have to, to hit the ball, be assertive.. not too aggressive though. Go out of your way to get the ball.. but don't be a ball hog!
HOPE I HELPED!!! =D
Rate me Plzz!

livvy712 answered Monday August 16 2004, 1:06 pm: okay ive been playing socca for 7 years so i hope i can help out a lil
so you say you need to b more aggresive..
i've really never had a problem being aggresive cuz i play socca wit the boys.. but i would normally just say.."im not affraid of the ball and im not affraid of the big tough gurl witht the ball.. then just charge after it and don't thikn that your gonna get hurt cuz the ball will hurt if you let it hit you you have to hit the ball..and the playa. you can also try really sneaky moves like slide tackling and tripping others but make shua when your doin illlegal pushing and tripping that the reff is far away so he wont call ya.
but other wise just have fun and play hard
my aim is bikinibeachbb69
if you can find me on there great or you can also just send me a ? to my inbox
