O.K. I have been playing soccer for almost 10 years now and I have played every position there is.
~~~~
*Defending- always keep your eyes on the ball. I find when you are not looking at it they other team's offense gets past you easily. You should always stay with there fowards even if that means moving up to the center line.Also, always run with the other teams offense when they have the ball and try to stay closest to the net so she is on the outside. This will enable you to block her shots better. Not to be mean but try and play them offsides if you need to get the ball back.
*Attacking- you must have a very strong leg for attacking. You also need to be fast so you can get to the ball before your opponent. I would suggest learning some fakeout moves such as scissors which is where you pretend to kick the ball one way but your foot just glides over it instead of touching it and do that with both feet to fake them out or just do the shoulder lean which is where you dip your shoulder one way so they think you will go that way and then run off the other way. Use your head also to score goals, you should use right where your hair lime starts.
*Getting the ball from someone- if its your opponent kick the ball as many times as you can but doi not tire yourself out too much. Also you can slide but only if you can reach the ball in time and many times you can get it from them when they are running if their eyes are on the ball.
*Goalkeeping- know this is the toughest position on the whole field. You have to be able to think fast, have fast reflexes, be able to sacrifice your body to protect the goal, and use your authority as goalie to your advantage. When your opponent is about to kick you can see them turn their hips which can give you a lead-off of where they are going to go. Also if you have seen the opponent enough times you are able to know where they will kick it. (i.e. bottom left, top right, etc) You have the power to dive on top of the ball and technically have people have to jump over you to get out of the way. The oppponents fowards are not allowed to touch you when you have the ball in possession. Lastly, do whatever you can to save the goal. Punch it up in the air if you have to so you can catch it, really learn how to jump as high as possible for you, and get FINGERSAVES in a good pair of goalir gloves. These may end up costing $100 dollars or more but they are worth it if you are playing anything above U13. They are a lifesaver and protect you from pulling your fingers back too far. Also practice doing drop kicks.
*Passing- use your laces not your toe and you will get alot more power and distance when you kick te ball for longer distances. If it is a shorter pass you can use the inside of your foot where your arch is ot if you need to move the ball out of your opponent's way, then use the outside upper part of your foot. You should be hitting where the straight part of your foot starts to turn into the arch. There is bone their and it will help.
*Crossing- is alot like passing the ball with long distance but if your want to curve it turn your hips as you kick to the correct direction you want it to go. Crossing also requires that you get it higher in the air. Crossing is a key element to throw off the other team's defense. Usually many defenses will drift to the side the ball is on and this is the perfect opportunity for a cross so you can run towarsds the other team's goalie with an open shot.
*Stopping the ball- there are many ways in which you can stop a ball. You can use your chest which for girls may hurt a little more but you will get used to it and if you do it right then the ball should roll off your chest/drop to the ground and you have contol. You can also use the inside of your thigh which provides stopping along your whole body if you miss. Also you can use you shins but eith this if you want to have it stop right in front of you and not bounch out about 10 feet in front of you then you need to pull you leg back with the ball the slow it down and not really "kick" it back. Another is you can use your stomach. Start by tightening it up ad then it should stop. It might hurt a little though. ANother way is to trap it with your fott. You need to "catch" and stop the ball on the inside part of your foot or you can stop it with the bottom of your foot by stepping on it but I would not suggest it since the ball can slip out easily.
