Zoe R asked:


I really like soccer! I love watching soccer movies….. GOAL! Bend it like Beckham, She’s the Man! Etc.
I have a soccer ball and practise every day. But there is one problem. I love netball. Netball i have been playing for 6 years, but to tell you the truth i am sorta getting sick of it. Like each time i see a soccer game on tv or see my friends playing i just wish i was out there playing too. I feel that soccer is almost my life. But the problem i mentioned before stops me from playing it. You see here in our home town Netball is pretty much on the same time as soccer. Soccer is a little bit earlier in the morning but you have to travel so far.
Please help me in this situation!

How can I become a better soccer player and prepare for my high school’s try outs?

Mary D asked:


Hi! I want to try out for my high school’s soccer team this spring. There are three teams–the freshmen team, JV, and Varsity. Because of my age, I would have to make the JV team to be able to play. In other words, I’m not a freshman. I have played soccer for 6 years, so I do have experience. However, I am very out of shape right now and my ball skills aren’t too fabulous. They never have been. My fortes are speed and aggressiveness. I am currently in a league playing for my parish, so I will be fully in shape by November, when we end. What can I do, starting now, to become a better player AND prepare myself for Spring tryouts? Also, what can I do over the winter to stay in shape?
When I say “become a better soccer player,” what I mean is, how can I improve my stamina, speed, and ball skills?

Thanks a bunch!
