Going back to school is totes exciting because it means a whole new season of sport! If youβre thinking of joining a football team (aka soccer!) and want to go into the season strong, check out our top tips.
- Always want the ball. Chase after it, try your best to make the best passes with it and take it the furthest up the field. If you make mistakes, donβt worry! Keep chasing after the ball and youβll get better.
- Practice your passes. The easiest way is to start small β practice short passes, and then practice your long passes. Then if youβre feeling really advanced, you can practice long, lofty passes!
- When setting up a shot for goal, shoot wide and low. If you keep this in mind instead of shooting high, youβll have a better chance because itβs harder for the keeper to block. About 60% of shots in a game of football are scored low, and almost 70% in one of the corners!
- When you get the ball, try to avoid running towards lots of people, and if thereβs no escape, pass it to a team member quickly. That way you can open the field and avoid losing the ball to the other team!
- Learn to work as a team. Look out for your other players, defend for them and watch for the space when your team member has the ball. Together, youβll be unstoppable!
