soccer girl needs to train.
i may not be able to do soccer this year.. or if i will i want to train. what are some things i can work on? i have a soccer ball.. and sometimes i dribble around the house but outside is snowy, and even later theres not much open space for me to practice because our park has hills and my backyard is mostly forrest. whatare the skills i need to get? im a 13 year old girl, and i've played 3 seasons of soccer in recreation. im good at running, but i think i need more stamina. how can i pace myself when running around the neighborhood? so i dont run too little or too much and i can improve? like how many days do i need to run and etc? also what are some other things i could do so im in the best condition for soccer? thankyou.

Maybe give some free advice about: Sports?
Like the person below me said, you should practice inside if the weather interferes with praticing. Work on dribbling around things, pulling the ball pack, to either side, etc.
As for running, you need to be in good shape. Soccer is very much a running sport, so be prepared to run a lot. At my school, the soccer team runs two miles every practice, so I suggest running two miles or so every other day. Work on some sprinting, also, as that is important.
Good luck. =P

If it's snowy outside, why not work on your moves inside? Grab your soccer ball and you can even do this in front of your tv. Work on your toe touches, and moving the ball back and forth in between your feet. It really helps to work on ball control, without having to go outside. You can just watch tv while you're doing it, so that you're not concentrating on looking down at the ball -you wan't to try not to do that. As for running, you want to be in great shape. Running a mile or so a day would be fine. If you run perimeters for soccer at your school, try to do that with a friend. (I have to do perimeters during preseason for soccer, so me and a few of my friends run it togeter -just so that we're not dead by the time tryouts come around) Don't plan on running everyday. You need to take a day off from running, because it's not good ot excercise 7 days a week.

seeing as i have played soccer for 9 yrs and 2 of wich i was on travel i think i can help. here are some things you can do:
-dribble( like you have been doing)
-try to juggle on your feet and on your knees
-fake going one way but change and go the other
- main thing that will help you out is foot skills like tricks. 4 instance do you know what mathews/scisors/double scisors/revolino/fake and move on/pull back are?? if you don't you can write back to my advice collum or something and i can explain them to you.
-there are so much more stuff but thats just a few if you need more try to write to me.
now running, i just started to run track this yearr, and i am doing the 2 mile. it really helps you in soccer, especially when you are trying to get to the ball faster than the girl on the other team! on my running team before you do n e thing you have got to strech out everything in your body out!! you dont want to get an injure. usually when you runn lik if you are going to be running a lot of miles like 2,3,4,5 and etc.. you want to not start off speeding but you dont want to jog. so try to find a good pace for you. ask your parents or a sibbling to time you doing a mile then try 2 and then later on in the week do 5 (its not as hard as it sound trust me i thought i was gonna die but it got really easy)
hope i helped C=)
(sorry so much)
