Soccer Coaching Tips
Mastering Soccer by Yourself
Every body knows that soccer is a game that is played between twenty – two players, eleven in each team and a referee. Little do people realize that even though this is a team game, most of the practice of each of the players can and is generally done on an individual basis. If you want to be a master player, then you have to learn to work around the ball and control it with your feet. You could begin by just playing with an ordinary ball, just kick it round to get the feel and you will be able to play soccer very soon.

If you use a ball which is smaller in size, it makes you more adept at maneuvering the ball with your leg. You will soon see the results for yourself, as you will be hitting the ball more accurately into the goal. You could mark the back wall of your house for the goal post or else if you have an old camping net, it could serve as the goal post. Practice aiming at the goal post from every conceivable angle. Dividing the wall into sections is a great way of playing ball. Practice putting the ball into each section till you have perfected the art.

Try giving free kicks against the wall. Most of the world famous soccer players won gold for their country by hitting free kicks or penalties, so there is a lot of scope in that area for winning. And every world class player has practiced his moves to perfection. So there is no short cut to becoming a champion and winning the game. Practice does make perfect. Keep an eye out for your weaknesses too. It is difficult but if you want to be at the top, you must know your weakness so that you can work on it and improve your game.

Playing ball alone can get boring so liven up your game practice by adding a few obstacles along the way to the goal post. You may make use of old canisters, logs of wood etc., to work the ball around. Conversely, you could rope in a few friends to help you practice. It is much more fun to pass the ball around in triangular patterns and try giving long and short passes. They could serve for both defense and offense. This way you get to practice at a live session.

You could even get your friends together and play a small round of the game. Each payer could be given the responsibility to attack or to defend alternately and you could play against each one of them. This is a team sport but individual practice carries a lot of emphasis. In a full scale match you may or may not get the opportunity to play with the ball all the time. But when playing solo, not only do you perfect your mastery over the ball but improve upon your weak areas which may be the reason for disqualification from the team.
