Be in shape before the season.  That means interval work (sprint/jog/spring/jog) and distance work.  You will have an edge over all the other players because your skill level will not drop off due to fatigue.  Be open minded because your coach may have a different approach to the game than your previous coaches.  \n\nLastly, work on your skills, dribbling, juggling, and if you can find someone to work with, passing and shooting.  And do not forget to work on your weak foot.  Coaches look for players with the ability to play multiple positions and capable with both feet.

If you're talking about REAL football (not soccer) I can help.  I played on a semi-pro team for 3 seasons.\n\nFirst of all, you have to have speed and dexterity.  Speed is natural, but can be improved with exercise.\n\nSecond, as far as health is concerned, eat correctly and balanced, exercise (lift weights) regularly.\n\nThird, develop a keen sense of what the game is all about.  Study tendencies both on defense and offense.  Moreover, always be ready to play any position when asked upon.  Practice throwing, catching and kicking if applicable.\n\nStudy the playbook intently and know every player's responsibility so you know what to do, when to do it, and can play their position.

Always try to find the open space. Pay attention to the off side rules. Learn to kick the ball in a way that the ball ends up were you want to send it..  The same heading the ball. Practice until you can do that. The ball is the tool of the game.

Get running!  Get your stamina up.  Start running a few miles on a tread mill or outside and start doing sprinting drills.  One good drill is called a suicide: Go to your school's gym or a park and use 5 small items (cones, balls, rocks) and space them evenly across the gym or park.  Pick a starting point about 10 feet away from the first object and sprint to it.  Without stopping, sprint back to your starting point, without stopping go to the second object, and back to the start until you have sprinted to the furthest (5th) object and you have sprinted all the way back to the start.  The goal of this exercise is to push yourself as hard as you can.  \nCoaches look for players who work hard and are in shape.  If you can push yourself with running until you feel like you are going to die, you will be sure to impress your coach.  If you are in better shape with running and have high stamina, it will be easier for you to perform well with the ball where others who are not in shape will get tired and start making mistakes.

depend soccer here is very independent, high school usually offer all types of sport, it hink u.s. high school has most type of sport than any other country, soccer here is very popular for girl than boy my opinion.  boy more into football and basketball,  alot current kid play soccer in school are highly hispanic but is making sense, since they blood is play soccer.  comperation yes, usually around the city and county. if they do very well they can compete with state and even nationwide, however too bad hgih school or college soccer catch little interet in most american don't show in tv or cable exccept the MLS pro soccer league which establei not too long ago.   games can held any day really, but i think is more common at friday than any other day.  pratice can be everydays because usually those kid taking soccer, or in soccer team. don't go regular PT(physical training) all they do is focus that sport (soccer) nothing much else.  so is dailty thing.  and usually after school hour. very unlikely they pratice off school year, but depend, if school soccer team is good the coach might decide the team start few weeks ahead school year to get ready. but really kinda rare for soccer, football is common however\n\nhoped that help/.

There should be a website...run a search for Oklahoma State High School Athletic Association.  Once you get on that site, look up soccer and it'll have all that information.

You can definitely get a soccer scholarship if you're good enough, and it sounds like you're doing really well.  Maybe you should contact some soccer people in the athletics department of the colleges or universities that you're interested in.  Ask them what sorts of things they look for and/or what their requirements are for getting onto the team.  They would be the best ones to advise you.  I would think that your high school coach could give some good advice.  Keep up the good work!

play lots and lots of soccer. and when you start kicking the real football, kick it on a sidewalk straight, this will increase your accuracy.

That depends of many circumstances. How old are you? What position do you play? Are you male or female?\n         For starters , you have to have talent to play sports. And, of course, practice a lot. I am from Argentina, and we used to play almost every day for as long as we could.\nFirst, you have to learn to handle the ball.This you can do for yourself. Kick and kick and kick the ball until the ball goes to where you sent it. Then, try to watch as many games as you can. But not just to do what the other players do. Analize the game to see for yourself what work and what does not, because even profesionals players, making lots of moneys, make lots of mistakes. Also, playing defense it is easier to play playmaker or offense. Defense only have to kick the ball away from the opponent, and do the job.To create plays and score it is a lot more difficult.\n     I have a younger brother who didn't have much talent for soccer, but he practice a lot since he was nine or ten, and he became an excellent player and I took him to play for my team everywhere. So, good luck to you.  Ben

I have coached a lot of players this age as a professional trainer. The three main ingredients for success are probably talent, drive and luck and if your daughter has all three she has a good shot. Supportive (but not overly aggressive!) parents certainly helps.\n\nSuggestions:\n\nMake sure she plays on a 'high profile' club or select team that enters tournaments where college coaches are likely to attend. Visibility is the key, particularly in those last two HS years.\n\nIf she hasn't already she needs to develop personal training habits so that fitness levels and (equally important) skill and first touch levels are constantly maintained and improved.\n\nMake sure your daughter knows her strengths and as much as possible ensure the coach plays her in positions that emphasis her strengths.\n\nCollege based soccer camps are good shop windows\n\nEncourage your daughter by all means but she needs to be self motivated or this will not happen. If she loves the game and is fortunate enough to have knowledgable, caring coaches she has every chance.\n\nFinal thought - allow her some time to be a youngster and to enjoy life. All work and no play - well you know...\n\nGood luck!
